Dellmantt Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 What version of OS X? May be because your mac address is all zeros. Type ifconfig in terminal to see. If this is the problem search foe setMac or MACADD scripts to set mach address at startup. And set DHCP with manual address.......

Find the mac address for the device in Windows (imconfig) or use a linux live cd (ifconfig). Then set it at start up using the instructions from here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...st&p=147065 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/247407-broadcom-netxtreme-bcm5751-gigabit-ethernet/#findComment-1638152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
