danskimanuk Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi, sorry, but what is this patch you speak of, and how do you rebuild the extensions cache? I tried using: sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache but was informed that no such file or directory existed.. I looked in the finder for this file and it was not there. Under library there was a 'extensions' directory and a 'extensions.mkext'..... So where is the cahe that I need to rebuild??? I have followed the 'appleBCM5701Ethernet.kext -add your own vendor/ID method' Please, please help... Leopard runs great and I just need my net connection to completely remove vista and windoze from my life!!!! danskiman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nope327 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hello Together, i have found a Solution that works for my Dell D800 Broadcom Card (Model 570x, Gigabit Integrated Controller, Vendor 14E4,Device 165D) My System is an patched MacOS 10.4.5. What have I done: 1. I Found a patched Driver somewhere here in the Board (Sorry, I have read so many threads, that I have forgotten the Name of the real publisher) 2. This Driver ist attended to this Post. I hope the patcher will allow this 3. Copy this Driver File to the Mac Desktop 4. Open Finder and navigate to System/Library/Extensions 5. Find the IONetworkingFamily.kext and copy it also to your Desktop 6. Mark it with the right Mousebutton and select "Show Package Content" or so. -- Sorry I'm using a German Language OSX and so i don't know the real English Button Names. I think you will be able to find the correct ones ;-) -- 7. Move in the opend KEXT to Contents and then to PlugIns 8. Find AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext and copy it to Desktop -- The Copy to Desktop Actions are neccesary, otherwhile you could not edit the KEXT Files -- 9. Mark the AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext with right Mouseclick and choose "Show Package Content" or so, like above 10. Navigate to Contents - MacOS 11. There You will find a File called AppleBCM5701Ethernet 12. Overwrite/ Replace this File with the patched one from your Desktop 13. During all these Steps it is possible that you have to Identify with your Root Passwort. Do so and you are able to replace the Files 14. At this time you have placed the modified Driver in the AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext ON YOUR DESKTOP 15. Now its time to complete the IONetworkingFamily.kext on YOUR DESKTOP 16. Therefore mark the in Step 5 copied File on Desktop with right MB and select "Show Package Content" or so 17. In the opend Package navigate to Contents-PlugIns 18. Copy your modified AppleBCM5701Ethernet (Step 14) from Desktop to this package. Replace the old One 19. After closing you got a modified IONetworkingFamily.kext on the Desktop 20. Now you have to copy this File to your System/Library/Extension Folder. 21. Navigate there with Finder and replace the existing one with the modified one from Desktop 22. The KEXT is now replaced an you have to do some jobs in the Terminal 23. Open Terminal and execute the following Commands: sudo -s cd / cd /System/Library/Extensions/ ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions 24. Now you have to do a Reboot. 25. The Network should now work 26. At my System an other Error occured.After the second Reboot OSX showed that the patched File was not correct loaded. The Network was again greyed out :-((( 27. To handle this problem, open the DiskManagement Tool form MAC OSX. 38. Choosee your Systempartition and select the Opinion to repair the Acces Rights on this Volume. 39. After the next reboot the System worked fine and the Network Card was working I hope this Workarround works also for your System. My special thanks goes to the real Patcher of the Driver. Sorry that I have forgotten his Name. Without his patching my Network would never come to live.... Human I can not get past this... it keeps comming back and saying that there is no such file or directory... any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonius138 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have a Latitude D820 with Leopard and all I get is "Cable Unplugged" for built in Ethernet. I attempted to install the patch listed on the first post and it killed Leopard dead on my D820, I had to rebuild (for lack of skills to uninstall patch). If there is a fix in the works for Leopard that would be excellent! A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankdidly Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hey, just wanted to let everyone know how I fixed my problem. I downloaded the file in this thread. I tried all the different things, NOTHING worked. Then I realized INSIDE the Broadcom Kext was the duplicate kext file. So extracted that one from the first kext. After that, everything worked.

Maccidental Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Sorry, I'm a little confused, so many files, so many threads. Which file exactly are you referring to? I think I have 3 or more, all of which I've patched to varying degrees of sucess. I would decompile them, but it's hard to know which is which - and I would rather start with the genuine original article. Sounds to me like you just accidentially copied a directory inside a directory, BTW. Hey, just wanted to let everyone know how I fixed my problem. I downloaded the file in this thread.
