defluxx Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Thank you for your efforts in trying to help out here! I tried installing your fix for the BCM5751 network interface. I have an Optiplex GX280, and this is my first time installing OSX on a non-mac machine. I installed XxX 10.5.6 Final and it installed okay after playing around a bit. Anyway, after installing your BCM5751 fix the computer will start up, but freeze as soon as it reaches the finder. If I start up, hit F12, and go to the system bios settings to turn off the integrated NIC (BCM5751), then the computer will start up fine. Do you have any ideas as to how I can get this working? Or can you suggest a low-profile ethernet card that will work for me? Thank you.

p-a-g Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hey folks, hi EternalEmpty, just saw your thread. thank you so much for your time and work you put into this project! I desperately try to get my network up and running. It's a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller (Ethernet, 100Mbps) device no: Bus 2, device 0, Function 0 OEM Name Broadcom BCM5750A1 NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express OEM Hardware No. VEN_14E4, DEV_1677, REV_01. I saved the MAC in windows in case I need it. The System itself is a Dell Dimension 8400. CPU Intel® Pentium® 4 CPU 2.80GHz 2,5gb ram North Bridge Intel i925X Revision B1 South Bridge Intel 82801FB (ICH6) Revision B1 Network Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller Display Adapter GeForce 8400GS 512mb This is what I did so far: Installed iPC 10.5.6 final with voodoo kernel(checked AppleBCM5751Ethernet) Managed to get the geforce working. Will try your guide now. best regards phil edit: solved by using my old RTL ethernet card thanks anyway...

wingrunr21 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That kind of stuff is WAAAAY over my head. I am completing work on a port of the Broadcom BGE/TG3 driver hopefully within the next week. While my primary focus is the BCM5906M, I am going to do my best to support other Broadcom chips. Hopefully with the work done in this thread to get stuff going we can get one driver going that will give full Broadcom support. I'll start a new thread when this is done.

Juan Nicolas Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 hey ..man ..can you tell me what is your DEVICE ID ? I really need to know that before I know how to help you ..thanks sorry for late reply..I was busy ..Like Hell ..and then on holiday Drink like Hell too ..so ..didn't com and check email ..sorry I haven't try on 1677 before .I am sorry , but have you try to modify your HEX to "77 16" ? well ..this is a very bad hack too, but I am not sure that will help or not, if it freezing on you, that means the card has been readed, but the buffer address is different, in that case it could be trouble a bit. since I don't have the card with me, you may want to try other solution until I have the card with me, then I can test it for you. but not sure when I can get the card though ... Hey .Soulz if you are using 169D, I am sure you will have not problem with the kext, before it tell you it has new card detected, you should click to open the NETWORK icon, of coz if you have already tried, then it must be something wrong with your kext didn't load correctly ,, try to remove the installed kext, and repair permission and then reboot, with flag -f and then install the kext again, repair again, and boot with -f one more time I hope it works for you something I need to point out, I never try on 10.5.0 if that is what you refer to, somehow I just didn't, personally, I think the best version I have try on Iatkos IS 10.5.4 (4i) not even 5i, you should try that version , Iatkos 5i wasn't a good build for me, I have try like many times, but fail as many time as I tried .. have fun .I am sure you can enjoy the os x with this kext very much ... try it again and make your new year a bit poshing .. Hi there.. I am not sure .. can you tell me Device ID first ? I am using this ketxt on the same version of OS X as you have, and I am now using it to reply your post, so maybe you want to tell me what is your device id ...^^ Hi, im using iPC 10.5.6 in a HP Compaq dc51000 sff with a broadcom 5751 14e4:1677 Is there a posibility for someone to help me work in a kext for me, I have try a ot of method and most of them need to do some hex editing and I'm not expert on that. I will appreciate any help on this because I do want osx on my machine. thx!
