i got it running now for a few seconds. i followed the instruction in this topic and in the other one with the hex edit method. my bcm5752 is recognized and has a mac adress assigned, but when i connect to the internet i get kernel panic after some seconds.
one wierd thing is that i have two networkcards in my networkpreferences both are called en1, en0 is my wireless lan. is that the problem, or is it it common that 2 networkcards are shown up?

issnt your wireless card and your bcm5752?

en0 would be your none wireless card

my wireless card is a dell 1490 or 1390 cant remember, but it is not important, since wirless worked out of the box.
my wireless card is en0 and i have two eithernet cards with en1 now.....does anyone else got two cards in system profiler and network options? how can i remove one?

rstensho

caan you upload you kext for your 5752 14e4,1600. I have done everytiing and will not work.

TIA

The post you replied to is over 2 years old! rstensho hasn't posted on these forums for over a year. Good luck with getting that kext.

Hi,

Please, me too! to orlandoagostinho at gmail dot com

Thanks a lot!

i got my BCM5787M working
but whenever i open a site i get the shutdown error

What kext do you use? Can you upload you kext?  

Please upload you kext.

i used this two files

PCCard.10.5.2.Beta2.pkg.zip - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=22978

AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...st&id=25174


This is on Kalyway 10.5.1 update to 10.5.2

Installed PCCard.10.5.2.beta2 package by Eqaute first, reboot and Installed AppleBCM5751Ethernet by nobb1x using kext helper.


for more details please look - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...72124&st=20

Finally it works!!!

Thank you very much, sume5h!

Hello, i have a big problem, as we all in this BCM 57xx thread.... So, i started with Tiger, and of course, no luck... (BTW, i've BCM 5789 169D) then (with tiger) i tried to plug in usb cable to my modem. And i can connect! woohoo! but after some time (up to 1 hour sometimes few minutes) internet disappear and i have to restart Tiger. Then i installed 10.5.2 (Kalyway's) and my ethernet
is showed as "green" (i think, that was kext dirty job) (you know, green dot at network diagnostics) but still those *** errors... (couldn't open communication device) still, i can connect through usb, but that's worst method EVER... (in this PC i can be connected through Windows so long (usb)) BTW, "the usb problem" was in macbook too.... it get disconected...


EDIT: i really don't know how, but now i'm writing under OSX through ETHERNET! Maybe that was the setmac? Whatever, i hope others will get it working too Thank you guys for sticking this thread...

installed these drivers and now my Leo can't boot. it gives me errors

I Have a Laptop Hp 6510b with a Broadcom PCI 14E4 / DEV 1693, no luck a t all , I managed to get MAC with zeroes and thats it...

Is there any hope to get this card working in the future, or is there something Ive been missing in the thread, that make it almost impossible to get it supported under Mac Os X ever??? If so what??

Are there any alternatives to it? Someone talked about using a USB to Ethernet Adapter... Any news or luck on this? Which Vendor should work?

Thanks to all. Hope we can make this work someday.

Osu.

sume5h & Api..... can u put ur card dev id & ven id...

thanks

BCM 5787 (14E4,169D) WORKING LIKE A SLAVE for me now..... BINGO !!!

Hi..

this is my first post here, i've been fighting my NIC card for like 3 days now.. and i can't make it work

i have followed several guides, mostly using AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext
and modify the id, but i get several errors, maybe i have been doing something wrong or trying the wrong kext..
My system is:
HP/Compaq nx6320
OSX XxX 10.4.11

Works everything except network
Ethernet BCM5788
vend ID: 14E4
dev ID: 169c

the error that i get is:



if you need more information, just let me know, just want to know if someone can point me in the right direction.
I have Kalyway 10.5.2 DVD if i have to update my system (i the event that i have to do that)

Thanks everyone for reading this

there is a solution to it already, pm me if you want to know.

Success!!!!!

Finally using this kext (AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip - http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...t&id=25174)

and making the modification indicated about the ID of the card from 9616 to 9c16.
then deleted /System/Library/Extensions.*
then remake kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions
then reboot..

now i'm at the point of ethernet card working but without MAC address

thanks everyone.

My system is
Laptop HP/Compaq NX6320
OSX 10.4.11 (Tiger)
kernel 8.10.1
the system boots with option "cpus=1"
ADI1981HD working with Azalia Driver

thanks again

And how's that working out for you?

Hi,

I have a same card with you, can you post yor kext?


regards,
orakanggo

i mean that i'm at the same point of working driver that other's with my card.
i have to write at a terminal the following command:

sudo ifconfig enX ether 00:11:22:33:44:55

and the it work, but it also work as MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00.

the other problem that i have seen is that it can't get the DNS servers right, but i fixed thosa at preferences - network - ethernet

and then it worked right that moment.

Thanks everyone

Hi, guys, I will post up my solution and kext file in few days time as I want to make sure that it will work for others too, meanwhile ..I am installing on 14E4, 169c to see how it will work,

the Mac address still no working, but with no problem of getting online or downloading large file and or chatting on Voice, it absorbed the top speed of my network, in which sometimes even my Vista seems to have a bit of problem for that


for Mac address, it seems that the card's common know offset address for MAC somehow moved to different address, or possibly the interface has not been implemented for BSD,
Actually, not just OS X has problem, it freeze Linux system too, I think access to its ROM just simply won't work under Unix based system. so bad !!! you might argue it works under MS system, well ..because they interact with hardware in slightly different way. Emulator. for example ...


so, for those interesting on my solution, please allow few days time to test it, and will post on my solution(s)...


AT LEAST, NOW YOU KNOW THERE IS A SOLUTION FOR IT ! THIS IS IMPORTANT !!!


cheers to all

p.s. I am now using the card to go online and reply the post, feeling good.......

here it is

after installing leopard using vanilla kernel now my internet is not working

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Wireless Card
Broadcom BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet

Edit: I'm freaking retarded is pretty much what it boils down to. I, for whatever reason, thought the Precision 690 used the Broadcom 570x NIC, but it actually has the 575x (after searching for device id 1600 on pcidatabase.com). I'm currently putting that driver back to the way it was and going to attempt the same process on the 575x driver instead. I'll post later

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So after messing around with this network card for a couple of days I seem to have come to an end. I have a Dell Precision 690 with an onboard Broadcom 570x (device ID 1600). I found this post: http://forum.osx86scene.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3045 (very last post) which kind of gave me some encouragement. I followed those instructions, replacing the hex values with the corresponding value for my NIC's device ID (using Hex Fiend), added the device to the Info.plist and kextload'd it and to my amazement and joy OS X popped up saying a new network device had been detected and asked me to configure it. A few moments later it was telling me the NIC was active and gave me a DHCP address. I launched Safari and about 7/8 of the way through loading http://www.apple.com/startpage the system panicked(sp?). I thought maybe it was because I had loaded it manually and it was looking for a dependency so I rebooted and the system came right back up. I launched Safari again and experienced the exact same behavior. I'm 95% sure it's the NIC driver causing this because this only happened after I made those changes to the kext, and I used a hex editor to do it (as opposed to changing the source and recompiling). I'm going to try and disable the nvinjet kext and see if that does anything for me, but I'm pretty skeptical. Is there any practical way to debug these problems or is it like once you kernel panic you go back to the drawing board? I'm interested to see EternalEmpty's solution (and would like to compare notes *hint*hint* ). Thoughts? Ideas? Divine intervention?

Maik

anyone can post solution for BCM5787M DEVIDE ID 1693??please

Alright, so after putting the 5701 driver back together I started using that same method to hack at the 575x driver. I wasn't able to find the exact hex values (but I wasn't really expecting to, being that it's a different file). I picked a device ID to replace (in this case 167d which was listed in the Info.plist). All in all there were 46 instances of this that I replaced with 1600. After saving the file I touch'd /System/Library/Extensions to rebuild the kext cache and rebooted. When it came back up there wasn't a device present in the Network preferences pane, but when I clicked the + it let me add one. Almost immediately after that it assigned itself a private IP address in the 169.254 range. Renewing the DHCP lease didn't seem to fix it, so I went digging through Console to see what I could see. Right off the bat I saw BCM5751Enet: Ethernet address 00:00:00:00:00 which isn't a good sign. I'm guessing I need to start there (and is probably the point where some other people are currently, but I just wanted to post my progress before leaving work for the day.

Maik

I thought the 575x driver IS the 5701 driver renamed post-hack. Are they the same size?

Well I did a du -sh on both files (AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleBCM5701Ethernet and the original AppleBCM5751Ethernet before edits) and I got this result:

328K AppleBCM5701Ethernet
140K AppleBCM5751Ethernet

And as I expected the modified AppleBCM5751Ethernet is the name size. So nope, they appear to be different files altogether.

After setting the MAC address manually I immediately got a DHCP address. I fired up Safari and it didn't immediately kernel panic, but instead the entire system slowed to a crawl and then became unusuable. I could move the mouse and wait 10-15 seconds and the cursor would move, but there was obviously a problem. So right now I'm going back to the graphics driver hypothesis. I will post updates shortly.

Update:

I moved NVinject.kext out so it wouldn't get loaded and, though I don't have any hardware acceleration, the networking issue had seemed to be sorted out. I fired up Safari and loaded Apple's start page just fine. I then went to news.google.com and it also loaded fine. After it sitting for a few seconds however, it kernel panicked again. I think I may try a reinstall and do just the network driver and see if I can rule anything else out.

UPDATE !!!

Hi, guys

I have been working on testing BCM5787/BCM5787M whole day today, since it is one of the most buggy card for me, "14e4, 169D"

it's been a great day, I have use the driver to download IPHONE-SDK.dmg , / 1.25GB appx. ..resume 3 times as the server down or some sort, the max speed carry out up to 435KBS, and very stable, I hope this is a REAL hope for ALL 14E4, 169D card owners ... as I was so sick of a little thing is no working in the whole package.

too tired for me to do all the post today, I will post up the solution on Sunday , just leave msg to all those whom may waiting for the solution, if you have some more question, please also pm me, if I can help, I will try ...


cheers

EternalEmpty


ps. I have sucessfully installed IPHONE SDK on OSX 10.5.2 (when it required 10.5.3 or above)...
if anybody need to know how, or something ..I can open a new topic, but will try to do a little application to see what happen .happy.gif


UPDATE: kext and install tutorial for BCM57XX (partially) detail cards I have tested please see the list below


File name : BCM57XX.zip

contents tree:

BCM57XX

.
.......BCM57XX kext
.
.....AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext
.

---------------------------------
Bibliography
-----------------------------------

EXTENSION ---> refers to "/system/library/extensions/"


--------------------------------


to install :

ATTENTION : This is a tutorial base on my test case, it may not working on all the machine, please use those driver on your own risk!!!

1, For safe reason, please backup your "EXTENSION " folder before start this tutorial

2, Unzip BCM57XX.zip to your desktop , you will see the contents of the BCM57XX folder have files listed as the "content tree" above

3, COPY both "AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext" ,"IONetworkingFamily.kext" to your "EXTENSION" folder , IMPORTANT, COPY BOTH FILES to EXTENSIONs, do no open the kext file or try to modify any contents,

4, A pop up windows for Authentication will pop up, just authenticate for it , YOU MUST DO THIS !!!

5, "Ignore" any warning about the above file that has been changed, coz the system will check for file changes and will tell you something like "unable to load/use " the file.. bla bla

6, DO the list of CMD lines as I listed below, line by line, do no copy/paste, because the chance of you will screw up the whole process by copy and paste are very high, unless you know what are you doing

------------- CMD under bash ------------------

sudo -s
(your password)
cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext
cd /System/Library/
sudo rm -rf Extensions.*
diskutil repairpermissions / (<-------- if after this step you didn't see your system repairing like 10% .....20%......, please redo again, before reboot)
sudo reboot


------------END OF CMD-----------------------

CROSS YOUR FINGERS AND YOUR LEGS AND reboot, AFTER REBOOT, IF you see a windows popup says " NETWORK DEVICES DETECTED " then you can start to dance, if unfuntunately, Sorry, try again and possible PM me


the MAC will still be zeros, but you will have no problem of getting online, for those people who connect to router, please configure your NETWORK details in the card option, and for those who use PPPoE , some of those ISP need to know your MAC, I am sorry .. but you still can try , under terminal

sudo ifconfig en0 ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

X = 0~9 , A~F


Setting up your DNS is very important, very very important, so I recommend everybody set up with DNS address by type in.


-----------*POSSIBLE* SUPPORT DEVICES----------------------


16a6 possible
166a possible
1677 TESTED
1648 TESTED
165d possible
1696 TESTED
165e very likely
169d EXTREAM LOAD TESTING PASSED, as I have modified the network card hardware settings, I don't recommend other to do so, so I will only provide a very original kext
167d very likely

this driver is not for any commercial purpose, please support mac by buy a mac (when time is right )..~_~...

So do you expect this to be a fix for all of the unsupported 575x Broadcom cards, or just yours? I hope you'll post what you did to get it work so the same method could be adapted to getting other cards to work.

it didn't work for me with BCM5787M dev id 14e4:1693
0 ResetAdapter - FTQ initialization failed
0 wakeUp - reset adapter failed
0 enable - failed
and so on, repeated 3 times

ty for the attempt

I made some time ago a kext partially working with the bcm5787M, its only fault was it lock-up the hack after receive/transmit some packets, does yours showed the same problems at the beginning? if yes how did you fix it?


EDIT------------
i got the system enabling the card only hacking the BCM5751:Enet::resetadapter function, as it is now, it don't know about the 1693, wonder how it can work for you, maybe i've made a wrong/quick hack but after the hack i got the exact results as with mine kext, so kpanic or lock after receiving few packets
the only difference i see with yours is that it get the ifconfig en0 ether xx:xx etc while mine don't

good luck

[sorry for bad english]
I can not open my kext by hexedit.Help me please (Can be because it is a folder?)
my Broadcom 5787 (14e4:1693) was defined,
Mac address is 00...
command: sudo ifconfig en0 ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX X = 0~9 , A~F - IS DON'T WORKING!
Mac address is 00... again
Help me

your should not use any hex edit software to modify the kext or the content, you are risking make it won't work,( you always can download again,I know, but trust me, you don't want to do that, only if you know what are you doing ) sudo ifconfig en0 ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ---> meant X = 0~9 , A~F for example 00:a1:b2:c3:e4:f5:d6MAC address is ZERO, that is fine, as long as you have the MAC 00:00:00~~~ it means your card will work, ( simile) just config your ISP DNS, ROUTER IP . you are good to go EternalEmptyPOSSIBLE solution Remove your cache files, including the user cache, and after clear up all the cache, ( make sure you did), back up and remove those two file that didn't work for you in your EXTENSIONS folder, and copy those files from the zip to your EXTENSION folders , repair permission, again, standard thingy .... if your card is un-pluggable, shut down your machine, and take off power, unplug your network card, start your computer, and make sure the system run stops, then shut down again, and put the card back to your machine ,( kids are not recommend to do so at home by yourself ... ~_~ ) for onboard one, disable your network card in the bios after shut down, take off the power cable, and wait for 3 minute ..plug back the power cable, start your machine, until the run stops , shut down ... and enable your card ....in most of the time ..it works for those card with poor electrical engineer designs ..... try it good luck EternalEmpty

Hi, i tried it, but no joy, it doesn't even pick the card up... ll it picks up is to proof to myself that the drivers doesnt work. please help!i have managed to get a canyon wifi usb to work, but this detects as en0. it doesnt even pickup the network card, at all.

Hey there, I'm trying with my Broadcom 5787 (14e4:1693), followed a tutorial I get the card as en0, no MAC (all zeroes) .When I insert a cable (or if it's already inserted) the card does get an IP assigned by the router. Hoever, after opening Safari, I can only surf a little while (seconds, a minute maybe) and then the whole system crashes with that giant "power button icon" and I have to turn off the system..... hoe can this be fixed?

woot congrats your first kernel panic walter

lol that's funny.... the "first".... yeah...sure....

go to the card's option (en0 or whatever), and go to check your duplex model , change it to half duplex, some router does push a lot packages before actually start to feed data from internet to your computer, it usually because of the made of router and also maybe some RJ45 wires are poorly connected.. and play around with it, I haven't got that card with me now, can't do anything here, but just play around with the options, more panic is going to come, for BCM users, we need more than luck, so ..good luck ...also, check your Router setting, disable the PnP function on your router, use Manually setup function to set up your card , DO NOT USE DHCPEternalEmptypick up is good, so ..can you see EN0, with mac address 00:00:00: ~~~ if you did, then that is about it, just go around the post, and read similar tutorial on it

Is that a technical procedure or a prayer meeting? Half-duplex, router PnP, poorly connected wires, play around, you need "more than luck", etc. etc. None of that is relevant when the problem is a defective device driver. Next he'll tell you to sacrifice a chicken on the next full moon and when that doesn't work he'll tell you the knife you used wasn't the right kind. It sounds like me buying a lottery ticket and hoping really hard that I win.

See my profile for a new alternative to all this madness. BCM57XX and BCM590X - all Tigon3 devices. There's more work to be done but I think it's a good start.

what do you expect from me ? full time working on the driver without making for my own living ? come on, I am doing for fun, not for responsibility, and if you know more about it, why you still just "STARTING " at least I have make few works...
and I DIDN'T FORCE anybody to use those driver or my tutorial, if you don't like it, go away...


and just drop it, ok? I am not come here for a battle, if you simply just jealous I come before you, take the chance, make us all happy by make a non- breakable driver for all DEVICES, I will BE VERY HAPPY TO save a lot of nights try to figure out how to help myself too.

by the way. your name really defined you well by your jealousy little comment,

I'm not here for a battle either and if your method helps anyone I'm sure they are grateful. But it's all mumbo-jumbo. It sounds like the furthest thing possible away from a reliable solution. You're adjusting the controls and pushing every button on the control panel without having the slightest clue about what they do or how they affect the inner workings. Your free time would be better used to take an English class or two. At least you would gain something from that instead of wasting your time.

nice... as long as it works ..who care how do you install it, MAC 00:00 for myself too ..but it works fine !!!

I've got a HP 6510b with a Broadcom BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet Card.

I installed OSX86 with a kalyway 10.5.2 Disc and everything except for network seems to work fine with a few minor bugs.

Now I loaded the AppleBCM57x1 kext (I'm not sure abt the digit marked x it must be either a 5701 or 5751) and the network applet in system properties detected a new ethernet interface and configured it propertly. Then i continued using safari (Web Browsing worked fine and fast) and itunes for some time before the machine stopped responding. Now i;m not sure why this is happening and i want to investigate if this is due to compatibilty issues with either itunes or the sound kexts.

If anyone has a previous experience/BugFix of a similar incompatibilty please let me know. Meanwhile i'll check weather my mac is assigned allright, and try tweaking the settings

EE, is yours functioning perfectly without any issues??? Was it the 5787M like mine?? If it is, can you post for me what you installed so I can try it? I tried setting everything by hand (IP, DNS, etc. ) but it still crashes after a few seconds of surfing.

Regards!

can you have a look on the screen shoot here?\


http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...rt=#entry811553

Yes, I see the screenshot. I will try to do everything again. One question: the IONetworkingFamily.kext did you DELETE the original and places the one in the zip, or did you copy the one in the zip INTO the existing one?

Also, did you do any other manual setting besides IP, Gateway, DNS ?

Thanks!

I do backup first , and then delete or replace, repairpermission

I set all the IP /dns and gateway manually
