tdttester2 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 In this spanish post, there is a fix. Fix for Broadcomm 440x network issue I have tried it, and now the Broadcom is working right. Broadcom 440x card works without a specific driver. Just with IOPCIFamily.kext and IONetWorkingFamily.kext Remove all AppleBCM kext files, and be sure you have IOPCIFamily.kext and IONetWorkingFamily.kext on /System/Library/Extensions Then, restart.... The problem has been fixed for me.
