plonka2000 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 Hey dude, I think I might be able to help you. I've attached the BCM5751 kext that I'm currently using right now... Here are the instructions I use as well. I havnt made these myself, so I'm not accepting any praise, just trying to help. You will need: Your MAC address, which you can get from Windows. your hardware id from your card in device manager in windows. Download and extract this kext to your desktop. Right click it, and 'show package contents' Open inside the 'Contents' folder, there is a file called 'info.plist' right click it, and open with 'textedit' go down to the section near the bottom called <array> and you'll see entries like this: <string>pci14e4,167d</string> You need to make a new line and add in the hardware address that you got for your card in the same format as the line above. Next, you need to run these 3 commands in terminal sudo -s chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/ chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext It would also be a good idea to run the disk utility and repair all the permissions on your drive. REBOOT run this command in terminal: ifconfig en0 ether 00:0B:XX:XX:XX:XX SUBSTITUTE THE MAC ABOVE WITH YOUR OWN MAC ADDRESS if your PC doesnt freeze, you're all good. Hope this helps. I think its all correct. plonka2000. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34433-how-install-bcm-5751-kext-alc260/#findComment-291917 Share on other sites More sharing options...

stran1 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Woo hoo! I've got a Compaq NX6320 which uses the BCM5788 nic ...ID 14E4 169C. I've been trying for GOD knows how long to get ethernet working. Had previously been trying with the 5701kext with no luck. Finally got my hands on the 5751 hext and it's working!! Thanks, plonka2000. I owe you a beer or 10!!

Paul Kuhn Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hey plonka2000, I tried several BCM5751 Ethernet kext files but everything I got was "Ethernet Down" when trying to configure my MacAddress. Hardware is IBM Lenovo R60 with NIC pci14e4,167d. Could it make sense to try YOUR BCM5751 kext?!
