neosun Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I'm using a HP Compaq nx6130 Notebook PC , and I install the JaS version of Mac OSX 10.4.6. It works fine. But I still can not get the network card work. The model of this card shows in windows is "Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet" and "Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200 BG network connection". Another thing is my sound card, when I install the old version 10.4.5, it worked perfectly, but when I reinstall the fresh 10.4.6, the sound card is no longer work. Is there anyone here using nx6130 too? How can I get these things work?

neosun Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Finally I manage to get my sound card working again! After lots of tries and errores, I finally find a simple way to get my soundMAX sound card work. As I mentioned in the previous post, my sound card works in 10.4.5, but when I install 10.4.6 (no matter fresh install or upgrade install), it stops working. So I just backup the /System/Library/Extensions/ folder, and then install a fresh 10.4.6, finally restore the backup Extensions folder, just overwrite everything. And then restart the system, and it works!

neosun Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 At last! I get my "BroadCOM NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet“ interface card work! I identify my device-id of BCM57x in windows, it is a "165E". And then use the method below to get it work. Run terminal sudo -s cd /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/Contents/MacOS cp AppleBCM5701Ethernet /Users/your_account_name/Desktop --- (back to Desktop) 1) right click AppleBCM5701Ethernet, Get Info. 2) change ownership & permissions as you can modify it. 3) run HexEdit, then open AppleBCM5701Ethernet 4) choose "Find & Replace" from menu. 5) Find: "66 81 FA 59 16" /Replace with: "66 81 FA 5E 16" (my DEV_ID was 165E, you type yours at last two bytes) 6) Matching: "Hex: (<-choose this) 7) push "Replace All" 8) scroll down to 37550 9) change address 37554, 37555 of "75 71" to "EB 71" 10) then save file and quit Hex Edit. 11) change ownership & permissions as before (by Get Info) ownership="system" and group="wheel" 12) (return to terminal) Hope this would help if you are using the simulier device like me.

winapenny Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi neosun, Thanks for the posting. I have a HP compaq nc4010. Here are part of my laptop's profile: - SoundMax integrated Digital Audio - Broadcom NetXtrem Gigabit Ethernet - HP WLAN 802.11b/g W400 With your tips with the HexEdit I managed to get my build-in ethernet running now! It's amazing! At least I can get my "Macpaq" connect to the Internet now. However, how can I get my sound card and wireless work? Any clue?
