Argus Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi All, I got a 5752M almost working in 10.5.2. I've posted a tutorial here. I'm having the same kernel panic issue as others but my MAC address, link status etc works flawlessly. Maybe my method can help solve the problems some of you are having. I did it on leopard kexts but it might work with other versions. Good luck. EDIT: By the way, this 5751 kext floating around is just a 5701 kext that somebody chopped up - it's not an official version from apple. In my method we are doing a similar thing but differently from the 5751 hack. So everyone using the 5751 kext might try it my way also.

BigPimpin Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I got a 5752M almost working in 10.5.2. It's not almost working. There are a hundred parts to an ethernet driver. Your hack gets the "MAC address" and "initial connection" parts working. There are 98 other parts that you know nothing about that simply will not work correctly. The chips have significant differences that must be accounted for. You're wasting your time. End of story.

ulin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Is the BCM5787 driver moving anywhere guys? If an experience hacker would want me to be a test bed for whatever he could try to do for this driver I'll be very happy to help (I can connect to the net from my linux box and we could chat on silc/any chat client while I'm editing the driver and reporting back logs/dmesg/messages in real time, pm me or leave a note here please). I understand this is not a small task and can only offer my time and hardware. I am, however, somewhat profficient in C (albeit no driver development only some moderate graphics coding for renderman renderers), bash, unix systems in general so you won't have a complete moron on the other side of the line if you decide to try and invest some time in this A lot of people would be very greatfull I'm sure.

BigPimpin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Is the BCM5787 driver moving anywhere guys? What driver are you referring to? There is no ongoing development activity on this as far as I know.

ulin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I was reffering to a potential Broadcom BCM5787 kernel extension driver for darwin/os ten 10.5.*, appologies if you guys have no plan to develop one.

JonZ Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Welcome to this forum. Unfortunately you have reached the end of road concerning this issue. So you are standing pretty much with everybody waiting for a solution to come out, but there's no one to fix the problem. And there's no one who seems willing to fix this neither.

BigPimpin Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 lazydesi your post is completely off topic. If you have a BCM57xx, fine, but it's not clear that you do. Please do NOT hijack this thread to discuss other drivers. Those problems do NOT belong in this thread. spacesee, please take the discussion of sound cards and chips someplace else. The purpose of this thread is not to discuss sound problems.

FYI- i am on Acer 5315 Lazydesi: I have the same model of laptop as you. Yeah, the networking sucks. Both the wired and wireless currently are unsupported.

BigPimpin: Well, his laptop does have a 5906M card, which has been talked about on and off in this thread. I am still trying to figure out how to get it to work, but, AFAIK, no one has.
