Lowcash Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Ok, so with the Fine help from Rammjet, Xeijin, and Kiko i finally got my Ethernet working, or atleast showing up now. However I can not get the MAC to set. Everytime I do sudo ifconfig en0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 (those are not my MAC) the laptop locks up and I have to hard boot it. does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

josh256 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 (edited) Same problem here.. desktop w/ Broadcom 5751. Note that I *didn't* incur this problem prior to 10.4.8 w/ the same hardware.. did you add the 5751 kext or patch a 5701 kext manually? Details: Patched my plist (dev 14e4,1677) *but* I had to use an older pre-10.4.8 driver as the 10.4.8 one was smaller and the search-n-replaces failed (where you replace w/ your own dev ID). For now, using a patched 5701 driver in the existing 5701 kext, only thing that works is a static IP... RE: 5751 kext I'm not sure if these guys have ifconfig mac + dhcp working.. I think I'll try this kext tonight http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...amp;hl=ifconfig Edited January 3, 2007 by josh256 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37188-mac-address-issues/#findComment-267519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
OxiDe99 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 uplug your ethernet cable from your router <-- must do go into terminal sudo ifconfig en0 ether {mac address} enter password voila..if you dont unplug your router, system freezes do ifconfig to see new mac address setting.. plug in you router INTERNET!!!!

josh256 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 (edited) Patched 5701 will not ifconfig/assign a mac without hanging (plugged in or not, makes no difference) Confirmed: I cannot get the 5751 kext to load w/o crashing on boot so I'm going to stick w/ the manually patched 5701 driver Semthex 10.4.8 SSE3 Shuttle SB95P v2 w/ PCI-e integrated BCM5751 --> 14e4,1677) J.

OxiDe99 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Quoted from another post...this is how i got it to work with my 5751.. I figured out that if you move the AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext from /System/Library/Extensions to another folder and load it manually after you are in the Gui it works fine! So what I did: 1. sudo -s 2. mkdir /System/Library/Extensions2 3. cd /System/Library/Extensions 4. mv AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext ../Extensions2/ 5. cd .. 6. rm Extensions.* That moved the kext to a different folder to prevent the autostart => halt of the system. 7. Than open your "/etc/rc" file with the editor of your choice and go to the end of the file. Before "exit 0" add the following line kextload /System/Library/Extensions2/AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext Maybe 8. diskutil repairPermissions / 9. reboot Using this method I got the card working on every startup and my Pentium M (SSE2 only) with the latest semthex kernel (beta9).
