infuzion Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Well this isnt exactly a help with your current network card but why not go buy a cheap osx86 compatible card and throw that in... then you would have a 100% working machine! Network cards are cheap these days and it will save you quite a lot of headache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mufasa Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I have a dell Precision T3400 everything except the Network card works.It is a Broadcom NetXtreme Intergrated Gigabit Ethernet Controller BCM5754 the DEV_ID = 167A, VEN_ID = 14E4 Just followed your directions (as I have the exact same VEN_ID and DEV_ID) with the same results... Although I can answer why en0 didn't exist. It looks like it came up as en2 with all zeros as the mac address and attempts to apply a mac address result with an error about the interface not being active. The network preferences never lets me in either. My testing is with iATKOS v7 on an Optiplex 745 modifying the optional kexts from the DVD install (customize).
