You're THE MAN!!!
An hour ago got my BCM5752 (pci14e4,1600) working like a charm: MAC's - OK, DHCP's - OK, 100M/1000M - OK!!!

For those, desperate Dell Latitude D620 owners, or who esle, by the chance, owns this card - attached 100% working kext.
NB! Place this kext to /System/Library/Extensions AND to the "/System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins" folder
Do not forget to DELETE existing kext, and "chown/chmod/repare perms" of course!

I'm so happy, 'coz at workplace we don't have WiFi, and at last i can use MY OWN laptop instead this terrible monster, i have here...


(sorry for my english)

This kext only works on 32-bit (arch=i386).

Thanks SunKi!

I works out for my network card on your base, just replace all 7b 16 with 9b 16 in binary. Info.plist also changed 167b->169b.

My card infor:

Dell Optiplex 330

Broadcom Netlink BCM5787 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (14e4:169b)

i can confirm this way for broadcom bcm57760 (1690)
running on acer travelmate 8472TG OSX 10.6.7 !!

After a small patch I got a fully functional Broadcom BCM5755 [14e4: 167b]
That's what I did:
With the help of HexEdit I replaced all b416 -> 7b16
Replaced 0f8465010000 -> 08565010000 twice
I now have a fully functional kext from Mac OS 10.6.5 with fully operational DHCP and MAC address
Sorry for my english

EDIT: To support 64 bits had to patch 0f8422010000 -> 0f8522010000
Gigabit does not work correctly (only 32-bit)

EDIT2:
Fixed bug in the patch (jz in 32-bit code is located at the 574BD, a 64-bit - 12F78)
Total. For a fully functioning version of 32 and 64 bits at 100Mb / s and 1Gbit / s (everything works for my card) should be done only:

1. replace all  - b416 -> 7b16
2. at 12F78 replace - 0f8422010000 -> 0f8522010000 - 64bit code
3. at 574BD replace - 0f8465010000 -> 0f8565010000 - 32bit code

EVERYTHING WORKS!

PS: patched corrected kext AppleBCM...net.kext.zip

GREAT STUFF! Got this working for a Dell Precision M90 running 10.6.7 retail with a BCM5752 (Vid 0x14e4 Pid 0x1600).
Based on Sunki's kext file, I replaced the "pci14e4,167b" string in the plist with "pci14e4,1600" and replaced all instances in his kext file with a hex editor from 7b 16 --> 00 16

Works perfectly both in 32 bit and 64 bit!

Enjoy.

Can anyone give me an idea of a good USB Wireless dongle to buy. The criteria that I am interested in are that it is 300Mbps Draft N, works with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and/or 10.7, and I want it to be recognized as an Airport. If not a USB dongle, perhaps a PCI-E card for my desktop. Thanks in advance for the information everyone!!!

Has anyone tried using the AftertheMac n300?

Does this work with a Hack'a'Mac? Either Snow Leopard or Lion?

I tried this on the vanilla 5701 kext for Lion and it didn't take. Can someone crack that nut?

PmgR, I have the exact same card as you, although lspci appends it with '(Rev 02)', if that matters.

Thanks guys.

Dragon Master, this thread has nothing to do with WiFi adapters. Head elsewhere.

What about Lion? Tried modofied plugin and it's recognized in Network Panel, but does not work.

Doesn't work for my 5752 on 10.6.8. Have you upgraded to 10.6.8 or 10.7 and got this to work? Thanks.
