Luis Soto Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Attached kext for You.Use steps described by me above to install. And don't forget to refresh your kext cache! Good luck! NB! for the others: this was made specifically for BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:167a]. Hi. Please, Can you upload the file again?? The link is not working since the file seems to be deleted... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loplop Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 This is BCM5752. My D620 has it onboard, so try this link Hope it helps. Hey AA, great work! Great help.... Unfortunately I cannot seem to find a working link to the 5752 0x1600 kext, could you repost, that would be grand... thx, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAppleFreak Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 The links are down, and I cannot access the website with that driver for the 5754. This really is a bummer, considering the two weeks (!) I spent working on creating a bootable Hack OS X flash drive doesn't have any internet. Any suggestions as to where I can find the kext?

nobodyishomeatall Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 finally found a kext for the 5751 that seems to work. However while I can get to stuff internally, I can not get past the router. I notice the mac address is all 0's. And I can not figure out how to set it. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thx, Tom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldrn Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Another big thanks to Noahbody99 -- his kext worked perfectly for me with my D830. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerman Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 OK. Let's see... When downloaded this .zip with kext – You need to extract it to some folder. Lets say – folder named Net on Desktop. 1. Double check if you have any kexsts named AppleBCM5751Ethernet in "/System/Library/Extensions". Delete if found any. 2. Open terminal. Enter following command (each line ends with pressing "Enter"): sudo -s <Your root password> cp -r -v ~Desktop/Net/AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext /S*/L*/E*/IONet*/C*/Plug*/ rm -f /S*/L*/Extensions.mkext 3. Open "Disk Utility" from Utilities, choose system drive and press "Repair permissions" When all is done – may reboot. That's all. If nothing's happen – provide Your "gmesg" output. One more thing: this file suits and reported working ONLY for BCM5752 14e4:1600. But steps to install - are common. Good luck hi all, I'm unable to download this attachment, is this link still working? regards Marco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paularis1963 Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 So, here it is: 0x14e4:0x1673 How to install: - remove all occurrences of AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext from both /System/Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins - extract attached .zip anywhere (let's say - to the Desktop) and make sure this is the only file, starting with the "AppleB" - in terminal: sudo -s <root password> cp -r -v ~Desktop/AppleB* /S*/L*/E*/IONet*/C*/Plug*/ rm -v /S*/L*/E*.mke* diskutil repairpermissions / reboot Then boot with the "-v" switch and post here all occurrencies with the "AppleBCM5751Ethernet" Update: this is only a HACK. No warranties then. And DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP EVERYTHING YOU MODIFY!!! Attached kext for 0x14e4:0x167bTry it and post reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkbc Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hey, Has anyone successfully installed the driver for device id 167b? Like others, I installed the specific kext file for 167b from this topic. I even got the MAC address correctly, but the network doesn’t seem work at all, from manual IP configuration to DHCP. Any help would be much appreciated. Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazy drummer Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi all I've got a Dell Precision T7400 workstation, and finally get its broadcom 5754 working (with window$ installed, i find that inside T7400 is a 5754, and probably share more or less the same hardware with a no. of dell products, one of these is the XPS 1730 laptop in the 2nd link below, the only difference being on T7400 the device id is 167a, not 1672) i get the 2 kexts from here then modify with ref. to this post first, i replace 167d with 167a in BOTH the info.plist inside "AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext" AND "AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext inside IONetworkingFamily.kext" second, with hex editor, replace all "66 81 FA 7D 16" with "66 81 FA 7A 16", then "F8 08 75 59" with "F8 08 74 59" of only AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext/Content/MacOs/AppleBCM5751Ethernet (i once tried doing the hex replacement also on AppleBCM5751Ethernet inside IONetworkingFamily.kext, but this causes KP) install the 2 kexts, then the usual repair permissions/clear cache/rebuild cache/touch extensions folder housekeeping stuff reboot, boom! an ethernet adaptor appears in system pref.! i have no problem with the mac address being all 00000000 with DHCP, connect to router and internet fine~ 10.6 will probably break sth but who cares now thx for sharing all these wonderful stuff, you guys rock!!! cheers!!!
