magare Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I have tried to make this NIC work on all types of MacOSX (10.4.x and 10.5.x), but no luck, so far. I tried with AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext and AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext, but nothing. Different type of issues. E.g. no MAC address, cable unpluged, etc. Can someone help me with this, please!!! My notebook is HP 6710B. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurikaaT Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Try the kext given below. I modified it for your card (dev_id=1693). I applied the same method as I did to make my bcm5157 (devid=1677) work, as NO kext I found here were ok. Please tell me if this works.

magare Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thanks heaps Surikaat. I have downloaded the kext, but I crapped out my notebook. I will reinstall it tomorrow or the day after and will let you know. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magare Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 hey Ueberleitung, How did you manage to install Leo on the hp 6710? I tried with external monitor, but only horizontal lines are all i can see. With internal does not work. Do I need to boot from the TOH dvd into save mode, and than remove the x3100 driver? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ueberleitung Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I did try it on the 10.4.8. Uphuck installation - did not install Leopard yet for the reasons you just stated. Reportedly the X3100 should work with Leopard 10.5.1 - just search the forum for an installation workaround without the X3100 drivers (can't find the thread right now). After installing EFI you should be able to do do the update (presuming you got your network working) and there shouldn't be any problems with the graphics anymore. - Ueberleitung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magare Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Installed kext for 5751 and the card appeared, but mac addr is all zeroes, hence does not work. Keep trying :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ueberleitung Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 You can set the mac address manually with ifconfig and the lladdr command. See http://developer.apple.com/documentation/D...ifconfig.8.html. If the network works afterwards we can call ourselves lucky!

magare Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 When I try ifconfig en0 ether <some mac addr here> and it comes back saying:ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR) network is down. Than I try ifconfig en0 up and than again ifconfig en0 ether <some mac addr here> , but no luck. I use the BCM5751 kext. I tried 5701 one but can't get it to load.
