Arcolite Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I've been using this motherboard for Windows 7 and it's a great overclocking board. This weekend however I thought I'd have a go at putting OSX on this machine just for the challenge. Using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] I have been able to get 10.6.3 installed with no hassles. That however is about as far as I've got....epic fail. At the moment I have no sound, the wrong resolution and most importantly no network. I still need to sort out [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and the ComboUpdate (which I know I'll need the SandyBridge fix for) so I know soud and gfx will be fairly easy to fix. My problem is the network. I can't anyone information for getting the BCM57781 working. I've done multiple Google searches as well as searches on here and TonyMacx86. Could anyone please shed some light on this for me? Full specs are...

Motherboard: ASRock z68 Extreme4 Gen3 CPU: Intel i5 2500k SandyBridge GFX: ATI HD 6970 You're out of luck, I have been trying to look for a fix (driver/kext) for the same chip since I got my Z68 Extreme4 last July with no success whatsoever. I gave up and just bought a generic USB Wifi dongle with a Realtek chip for my network needs.
