Barron879 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I am having a problem with my Broadcom440xEthernet drivers. I am using Kalyway updated to 10.5.8. When I first install with the 10.5.2 dvd, it worked fine. When I did the Kalyway combo update the ethernet port stopped working. I fixed this issue by copying AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext into the IONetworking.kext, deleted Extensions.mkext and rebooted. I then updated to 10.5.4 with no problem. Then 10.5.5 again with no problem, but one I updated to 10.5.6 it stopped working. I booted with -v and when it loads the driver it says "AppleBCM440XEthernet: initDriverObjects failed." I have searched extensively for a solution but have found none, so I was hoping you guys could help me out.

twistoflemon Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Anyone? Same problem using ideneb's leopard 10.5.8 kernel applebcm440Xethernet: initDriverobjects failed I actually had it working for 1 hour, but I do not have a clue what made it work and now its gone again no matter what I try... Replacing with an old ionetworking does not work for me either.

marionez Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 remove (backup it) applehpet.kext at your own risk clean kext cache (S/L/E/Extensions.mkext) and reboot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/181874-applebcm440xethernet-initdriverobject-failed-problem/#findComment-1271368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
