hi~
I have Dell Latitude D630 with integrated BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet (vendorID:14e4, deviceID:1673). I've tryed all hacks for AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext and AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext (change Info.plist and HEX stuff) but it doesn't works. The 'biggest' achievement was then ifconfig properly show NIC MAC address - that's all - dmesg shows "failure initialization".

If there is anyone who made it work please give me some information how can I "switch it on". Any help will be appreciated

any update for BCM5787 dev id 1693?

thanks

It looks like this driver developement is stuck, so we will not get far from getting a working nic without mac address.

I know of hackintosh for just 3 days and everything is new for me.

I have installed kalyway 10.5.1 on my acer laptop and couldn't get sound, network working.

I've got a Broadcom ethernet card and hope it works.

Device ID: 169c
Vendor ID: 14e4


I've got no clue which kext to apply on my Broadcom card: AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext and AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext

What I should do to make the card detected by leopard? A detail guide would do great favor for me, thanks a bunch in advance for any who provide me the instructions.

Hi

I need a driver for a Broadcom 5787m. Is your driver modifiable to work?

Thanks

10.5.2 update is now out so will our ethernet work now?

Here's a scripti which automatize MAC adress setting.
Put it in /Library/StartupItems
Correct permissions

Feel free to modify it with your needed mac adress, or others commands.


I've put it on my laptop, and now my ethernet broadcom chip always work

Bye

Hello ovof,

somehow I miss the script. I presume, it is the same I have seen in the forum.

BTW it does not help if one has problem with all-zero mac address.
As it is in my case (BCM 5787M) :-((

tell me if pb

Quoting myself. It's on a Dell XPS M1710

I was able to get my broadcom card on my Dell d630 (deviceID:1673) to working (kind of) under the leopard vanilla kernel. It works for about 30 seconds then I get a kernel panic. It shows the correct MAC and is able to get an address from DHCP. Once you one a web page the 1st page loads and the clicking on another other link cause a kernel panic. Any ideas?

Thanks

what driver did you use?

i've managed to get my broadcom netxtreme gigabit (ven_id 14e4, dev_id 1601) worked by using nisa-it's kext patch.its up and changing mac address is also available right now.

my ethernet also gets ipv6 address from router's advertise, for ipv4 i have to set it up manually by calling ifconfig en0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy up

but my laptop won't connect to my network, i've ping-ed to my router's IP and replied by "no route to host", then "host is down". checked "netstat -nr", the gateway's ip seems right..

any idea about this?

thanks

Thank you! This worked on my friends Asus P4PE motherboard with builtin ethernet. Well it worked until I rebooted.

My device ID is 1713, ven_id 14e4. it's a BCM5706. i've tried to use and patch the driver 5701 many times but failed. Anybody can help me?
thanks alot

Billmaxpowers,
Please give us some details on how you got the 5755 working (well as far as you have) on the Dell D630. Mac seems to recognize the NIC but it never recognizes when you have a cable plugged into it.

Hi,

same problem here, can't access the page to download the driver.
Can someone send me the driver? Many Tkx

No matter if mac is all zero´s ...

Hi all!!!

Hi, I have installed Mac 10.4.6 JoS on my VBI Sunspire with lan Broadcom 5787 id: 1693. And I tried everything in this topic, but without corect result I don't know what to do - it still be disconnected, mac didn't find mac adress (and no zeros found). Pls help me, if you know what to do with it. Please if you can, write me full instructions + download kext (with instructions how to instal kexts). THX you verry much!!

PS: sorry for my english, but i am beginer with this language

Broadcom 5787 id: 1693 not work on Mac Os ( ), so you must change you network card (or buy USB-To-Ethernet Adaptor).

hmm no good... But what about wifi? Does Intel wifi 4965AGN ven:8086 id:4249 work on mac?

I got the same story as everyone else with my D620 Centrino/Broadcom 5752:
network works fine for a few seconds then locks up with shutdown dialog. . .

ifconfig reveals my MAC but Network Prefs only got 00's. . .

I even tried adding my MAC address to the Ethernet5751 file directly for an instant lock up. . .

my solution:
boot up with a USB stick and surf from within Linux. . .

I got ethernet Broacom bcm5706 with 1713 14e4,
Can`t get it work with kalyway 10.5.2 :/
hex patching, nisa it patches, adding string, I`ve tried everything that I found on the web
still nothing ...
please help

i hav a netxtreme 57xx gigabit controller, after i modified the IONetworkingFamily.kext with the intructions i got here my laptop gives the restart ur pc error every time it loads but i can login in safe boot, is there anyway to fix this and get my ethernet controller working, pls help

Iam loosing my mind here on my Aspire 5720ZG. No luck with on BC5787. Just cant get it work. Should this work on 5787 also??

It barely works on anything.

This kext is modified for the 5787M, it is not working, but actually it get the address from the dhcp, set the correct line speed (100mbit full duplex),don't show errors on the log and my router show the name of the hackintosh in the ethernet client list. i still get 00 mac address and there are no ping,both router->mac and mac->router.
it seem it works for few seconds, just the time to initiate the communications with the router,then stop. It don't support the mac address change commands nor the ifconfig en0 down/up,causing the immediate crash (no KP,just it lock the whole machine)
It is based on the old nisa-it 5751, and hasn't been tested on cards other than the BCM5787M, i've uploaded it only with the hope that someone could try to make it working,because i'm very noob on the mac. To install just drop it in the Extensions folder and fix the permissions,beware of other bcm's kext around,on some distributions they are in the ionetworkfamily kext folder,removing it won't affect your life.
