I have tried to make this NIC work on all types of MacOSX (10.4.x and 10.5.x), but no luck, so far.
I tried with AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext and AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext, but nothing.
Different type of issues. E.g. no MAC address, cable unpluged, etc.
Can someone help me with this, please!!!
My notebook is HP 6710B.
Thanks!!!
Full Version: Broadcom BCM 5787M NIC in HP 6701b notebook
Try the kext given below.
I modified it for your card (dev_id=1693). I applied the same method as I did to make my bcm5157 (devid=1677) work, as NO kext I found here were ok.
Please tell me if this works.

i never could make it work using usual methods and some inventions
Thanks heaps Surikaat. I have downloaded the kext, but I crapped out my notebook.
I will reinstall it tomorrow or the day after and will let you know.

Tried it out since I have the same laptop. The network is not working, I am getting this crap on startup:
Any ideas?

hey Ueberleitung,
How did you manage to install Leo on the hp 6710?
I tried with external monitor, but only horizontal lines are all i can see.
With internal does not work.
Do I need to boot from the TOH dvd into save mode, and than remove the x3100 driver?
Cheers

I did try it on the 10.4.8. Uphuck installation - did not install Leopard yet for the reasons you just stated.
Reportedly the X3100 should work with Leopard 10.5.1 - just search the forum for an installation workaround without the X3100 drivers (can't find the thread right now). After installing EFI you should be able to do do the update (presuming you got your network working) and there shouldn't be any problems with the graphics anymore.

I have a same network card BCM5787M(14E4 1693),i try many method ,but dont get it work ,can you ?thx
No. Not yet. Still looking for solution.
Installed kext for 5751 and the card appeared, but mac addr is all zeroes, hence does not work. Keep trying :-)
You can set the mac address manually with ifconfig and the lladdr command. See http://developer.apple.com/documentation/D...ifconfig.8.html.
If the network works afterwards we can call ourselves lucky!

PS: I don't have the means to do it right now, so please report your results.

When I try ifconfig en0 ether <some mac addr here> and it comes back saying:ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR) network is down.
Than I try ifconfig en0 up and than again ifconfig en0 ether <some mac addr here> , but no luck.
I use the BCM5751 kext. I tried 5701 one but can't get it to load.

before i have installed it with Tiger, but now with Leo i don't
more success to make to work it.
And don't remember what solution have i used..
I have tried all solution but nothing..
Have you working with Leo?

Help pleasE!
And excuse me for english!
Thanks!

Hello all,
As I said this is only a temporary solution but at least you have wired eth connection:
try to read http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...4987&st=400.
Especially posts 410-411,416-417.
This is testimony, that DUB-E100 USB-Eth Adapter is working!!!

ANY UPDATE ON 5787m？？？？？
I need this driver as well for my Acer 5920g... Please somebody help
After i installed this kext all i get is kernel panic (even with -f -x -v it doesn`t boot).. I have Leo ToH (the only one that i managed to install on my ACeR 5720ZG)
on leo 10.5.2 it is seeing the ethernet port, but says ethernet cable not connected
ANY UPDATE ON 5787m？？？？？
still no update on this card?
My BCM5787(1693) is working partially, I used these following kexts.
PCCard.10.5.2.Beta2.pkg.zip
AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip
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.
MAC is still zeros here are the results....
When connected to a Router, it can obtain IP automatically i can browse for couple of minutes, I was so excited seeing it working until BAM! my hack freezes! need to hold the power button of my ACER Aspire 4310 for 5 to 10 sec to power it off.
When connected to a Windows DC(2003) it can't get any IP(need to choose DCHP with Manual IP) tried to browse thru our Proxy Server, I can surf but after a 1 minute or two it won't work(browser will not display webpages).
but i'm happy cause it's working(40%?), it's a good start.
if only I can figured-out why it's freezing/Hanging....
Thanks to Equate and nobb1x.

Is the BCM5787 driver moving anywhere guys? If an experience hacker would want me to be a test bed for whatever he could try to do for this driver I'll be very happy to help (I can connect to the net from my linux box and we could chat on silc/any chat client while I'm editing the driver and reporting back logs/dmesg/messages in real time).

You need something concrete before you can make any progress with it. This is nothing but vaporware. There is no base from which any progress can be made other than a whole lot of wishful thinking. chronox, with all of his 1 posts here, says it's 40% done. He pulled that number out of thin air because he has no way to know that. He's not working on it. Nobody is working on it.

Ahh thats too bad. Guess none of the driver writers have the chip.. If anyone who wants to hack around on this and needs a testing buddy I'm here. The linux sourcecode for a working driver is inside the kernel source, I wonder if there is a free/openbsd one available?
i got linux source code for that driver
but i dont think that there is for bsd. but anyone tried any freebsd installation on your laptop? if yes did the lan card worked? if yes.... we are lucky.

I think i´v found the FreeBSD driver: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/
Maybe someone can port it over to osx.

Can you upload your 40% working kext here???
I want to try to fix it, after my final exam at the university!
I have the same card like yours in HP 6710b!

i installed leopard 10.5.2 again using vanilla kernal now my BCM5787 card is not working
before when i used sleep kernel it was working
before when i used sleep kernel it was working
I used speedstep kernel. it working 40% and need restart when connect to internet.
Can someone explain what the 40% figure is supposed to mean? I've been working with computers and networks a long time. Saying it works 40% makes no sense at all. It either works or it doesn't. That's like saying someone is "a little bit pregnant". She is or she isn't and there's no 40% middle ground.
Throwing around that 40% number is misleading a lot of people because if it's meaningless to people in the profession then it has to be confusing to ordinary users. The truth is that it does not work.
