AppleBCM440Ethernet.kext is removed from /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkFamily.kext in 10.5.2.

So basically the driver is missing.

 

If you use the original kext from 10.5.1, the network connection drops after a few minutes or under high CPU utilization (until you refresh new DHCP info).

 

I have a AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext which, when applied, seems to keep OS X from booting (mDNSResponder loop).

Anyone have the latest working stable driver for 10.5.2?
