bezeek Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Hi, I just installed OS X for the millionth time, but for the first time on a laptop. Out of the box, my Broadcom ethernet is not detected at all. No sign of any eth devices anywhere. I figure installing a driver would remedy this problem, but as far as finding one I've run out of places to look. From XP, the compatable hardware IDs are as follows: PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_169D&REV_21 PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_169D PCI\VEN_14E4&CC_020000 PCI\VEN_14E4&CC_0200 PCI\VEN_14E4 PCI\CC_020000 PCI\CC_0200 If anyone could please help me hunt down a fix to get this recognized I would really appreciate it. I have seen little blurbs of discussions on adding device IDs to certain files in OS X, or at least something along those lines, but I have no understanding of what needs to be done. Thanks in advance, bezeek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
