Jaques Yang Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Anyone else with a Thinkpad report success???? maybe it just not work on that machines. @Kenny, if the system don't start even with -s switch you need to boot from dvd and when you get the installation screen look in menus and choose Console, from console type cd /Volumes/YOURHDNAME/System/Library/Extensions then rm -rf AppleBCM5787MEthernet.kext Hi nobb1x, The driver not work in my Thinkpad R61e too.

oldnapalm Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Works fine on Aspire 5920 with iPC 10.5.6 updated to 10.5.7. With 10.5.6 had to use IOPCIFamily.kext patched by Slice. Using the original IOPCIFamily the AppleBCM5787MEthernet kext loads but device doesn't work. Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharredPC Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 So, it doesn't look like anyone is taking this work further, but... I have a 1693, just like the author. This method DOES work for me (is the only one that does), but as widely reported kills sleep. Every other aspect of my laptop is great now, and it DOES sleep otherwise. So I'm still trying to find a solution that both keeps Ethernet ability and allows sleep. Any new ideas? DSDT injection, SMBIOS patching, automated scripts to disable the kext (without KP)? Willing to play guinea pig test subject and try anything & everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dekozi Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I use Kalyway 10.5.2 and i have this Broadcom in my notebook i've installed PCCard 10.5.2 but when i run ifconfig it returns me just lo0, gif0, stf0 and fw0 Can someone help me? I'm having the same problem and i get the exact same result. I'm running Kalyway 10.5.2 on my Dell XPS 1640, Broadcom BCM5784. Does anyone know of a fix?

Does anyone know of a fix? try to read the thread since the beginning, time ago i posted some procedures to try to guess whats wrong. there is no so much we can do if the kext don't load the eth0, btw sleep will be never supported by this, the only hope is if someone make a port of the bge driver, there is a project but it seem stalled. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikiiiva Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hello guys, I posted earlier abouth my problem with this kext on 10.5.6. update. It's same on clean iAtkos v7 install. It worked perfectly on 10.5.5 but when i tried to install on 10.5.7 it finds new adapter and then freezes, and I cant boot system anymore until i remove kext. I have Thinkpad R61i. Does anyone have the same problem or posible solution. Any help appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiaoyao160 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hi guys,great work you are doing here, thanks... I have a problem with this BCM5787M on OS X 10.5.6, it freezes my system almost instantly. When I boot with -s to remove it i gives me panic and freezes again so i cant boot in my system. It worked excellent on my iAtkos v5i 10.5.5. although sleep stopped working. But then i did clean install, updated to 10.5.6. tried this kext and it freezes. I see that nobb1x is also runung 10.5.6 and BCM5787M so maybe i should do something more. I would appreciate any help. Thanks again... I have installed iAtkos v5i 10.5.5 on my ThinkPad R61e 7650A52. This driver works great. But when I change to other version, it went panic. Now, I use iAtkos v5i 10.5.7 for running iPhoneSDK 3.0. Unfortunately, it still go panic when I choose the BCM578x driver in the process of installing. So, I guess it can only work on iAtkos v5i 10.5.5 for R61e. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikiiiva Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 But what is so different with 10.5.6 or 7 to stop drivers from working? And why is that only problem with thinkpad r61. I see other people do not have that problem with any version of os x. Can someone of programers working on this project help, please? But thanks anyway, this is still excellent :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wickerman Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 hi everyone, I install OSx 10.5.7 in my Acer Aspire 4720z, but the ethernet it's no enabled. It's possible that the ethernet works in this OSx version?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eesh Dewan Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Hi, I am using Acer Aspire 4710 laptop which has the BCM 5787M LAN interface. I did a new install of 10.5.1 and updated to 10.5.8 and I found that now in System Profiler I can see the correct MAC address and it is catching the IP address automatically using DNS. Infact I have 2 installations of OSX86 on the same machine on different partitions and the other partition cannot get the MAC address and shows ba:ad:f0:0d:ba:ad. Any ideas which kext/kexts I should use to get correct MAC on the other partition? Eesh Dewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobb1x Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Eesh, you need to hexedit the kext, all is explained in the readme. Or use the kext you have in the working installation in the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
