Ambassad0r Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 My problem: got OSX running on my Acer Extensa 5620! Only a few more things: - MOST IMPORTANT: I would like to have my ethernet running. It's a Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet card. bn57xxxxx next step audio, webcam, .. I thought I would be clever and install XP under VMware as a guest. Thinking if the guest would connect to the internet, i could bridge it to OSx. Basically having both OS's running at the same time. But who cares for the moment. UNLESS there is a kext (driver?) for this network card -or a solution. Have searched the entire forum and internet for a solution for above problems. They all seem to be from 2008 and with no working links or other solution. Both OS's ive tried a couple of topics which ultimately led me to: "network cable unplugged" Oh.. iPC_OSx86_10_5_6_Universal_PPF5_Final O loards of the Insanely Mac Forrums please assist me My notebook: http://www.acer.co.uk/acer/product.do?link...;CRC=1164770960 Please let me know if you need more information SIGH: Yeah yeah.. got it.. of course virtual machine will take the drivers of host.. so if host is not connected, no bridging.. right? Been searching for many days.. And no answer for my ethernet problem Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/158279-extensa-5620-osx86-no-network-vmware-xp-sp3/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
