I just found this driver, and I am using it now with my BCM5752, and no kernel panic, from what I have read, it not perfect yet, but its the closest that I've found. Just thought I would share it with everyone.

yeah, too bad that driver works only with 5752 and the development has ceased.

Hmm yea I can't access it now, might just be that I'm using the driver. The biggest problem with it is that it stops working after 20 minutes, and requires a reboot. It was developed by BigPimpin, who is on the forums here, and I would bet mentioned it before, and I just couldn't find it. He based it off of the FreeBSD driver. I wish I had the programing skills to work on it myself, but I don't. Though I am going to mention the idea to a few of my friends and see if they want to start a fresh port of it.

Yeah, I haven't done anything on that in many weeks. I haven't changed anything on the website, either. You have to go to the main page first (leave off the "bcm57xx/notes.php" part) and then you can get to it.

It's still on my list for further work, but it's gonna be a couple months before I have time. When I do I'll spend a week first re-tooling the website. It's so ugly I can't stand looking at it myself!

Fixed the Link, for those interested.

Thanks BigPimpin for working on this. I hope you get time to work on it again. The main reason for me is, all the Computers in my College are the same model, and they all have this card. I run OS X off an external hdd, and it works great, cept for networking.

Anyways, thanks for getting the alpha done. Its a step up, and gives me what I need. And I can't wait to see you working on it again in the months to come

Yea, it works for about 20 minutes, then I have to reboot. But hey, its better then anything else, and Its really enough for now. I can't remember if I had to add my devid or not.
