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.

Anyone knowing these lan cards could explain why it stop to work after a while?

I your computer freezes it means that the driver is trying to use NVRAM to store your MAC Address into NVRAM instead of the driver memory as in case it works.

The only solution for this is to avoid DHCP (getting IP from some router, use Manual set of IPs) and set it manually only with the command sudo ifconfig enX XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX netmask XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX or use network panel in System preferences from GUI to set it to permanent IP.

If your router refuses packets (you see in GUI or by command ifconfig that the IP address/Mask/Gateway/DNS are set properly, but still have no network) originated from MAC Address 00:00:00:00:00:00 or there is another such MAC address in your network (for example another computer with this driver and MacOsX) there is no way to avoid the problem at all. Sorry to say that, but this is a nasty crack (as I told before) that can not be improved (at least by me).

Sorry if the info is a bit admin style, but I don't know how to explain it easyer.

Anyway good luck with your hackintoshes

@nobb1x
maybe because of this....

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

witch USB-To-Ethernet adapter is the best one for mac os x86 please?

for freeze you mean it stop to send and receive packets or hang the Mac? on mine it stop to work just after it got the ip from the router,but using static ip don't change anything. anyway my pc still runs and i can use tcpdump to see that it is still alive, just don't make any tx/rx activity. the nvram check is disabled, this is at the source of the 00:00... macaddress.. maybe there is another nvram read somewhere causing the tx/rx to stop working

witch USB-To-Ethernet adapter is the best one for mac os x86 please?

YES!!! My BCB57xx work!!!!!! But i have problem with MAC adress! How i can change him? Somebody help me please?

I have a similar problem, mac is only zeros. I try to manually enter the MAC in a terminal console with sudo ifconfig en0 ether command, but it return me an error like Network is Down.

I got a 5752M almost working in 10.5.2.

Is the BCM5787 driver moving anywhere guys?

Hi every body , I love Leopard so much but i don't have enough money to buy new Mac machine . So i try to install the Kalyway 10.5.2 to my laptop DELL XPS M1710 . It's seem to be easy in install the OS and when i try to install the driver , i have a problem in Ethernet driver . After read all the post before this post i have try the solutions of HATER but it's working not partially . When i complete all needed as HATER say . I reboot and then when i type google.com in the Sarafi brower . It's okie , the logo of Google showing but it's only 5 second before the black screen showing with the alert that : " Hold on the POWER button to restart the .... " and it's freeze . So anyone can help me to solve this problem and have any body try to install the Broadcom 57xx Extreme Gigabit driver in the Kalyway 10.5.2 ... My Vendor ID is 14e4 and dev id is 1600 .

Good luck to every body .. Thanks Tinhead and Hater so much for TUT

Hi folks,

Just installed Leo4all 10.5.2, installation is successful, expect audio and network drivers.

Audio is Realtek HD audio

NETwork

Atheros Ar5007EG wireless

Broadcom Netlink ethernet.

can somebody please help me to find the above drivers.

FYI- i am on Acer 5315

lazydesi your post is completely off topic. If you have a BCM57xx, fine, but it's not clear that you do. Please do NOT hijack this thread to discuss other drivers. Those problems do NOT belong in this thread.

hey there

Any body have a clue for this Card ID :

0x14E4

167a

Some people got it yo work with 167d 1677... BUT i cant make it work with 167a
