WiiGamin Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I was able to install 10.6.3 without much fuss and at this point I need to connect to the internet. I can't get any internet setting at all (All my choices are greyed out) so I believe I need a kext for a Broadcom BCM5751 built in ethernet port. The exact model according to the hardware info utility in the OSx86 distro I used is: Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express. If someone can please point me in the right direction of the kext I need and how exactly to install it, I'd be very greatful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having the same problem here for more than a year now... still no help... tried a lot of options but nothing worked out for me. Hoping that somebody would help... Gr.

ifrit05 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I have the exact same NIC in my machine. Try the kext I have attached to this post. Make sure your Dev. ID is in the info.plist and install in /System/Library/Extensions/ only. AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
