I am working on it, unfortunetly OSX doesn't list the vendor id and device id for me. I have to install windows to get it.

 

Don't need to.

Just install attached package. And then, go to Terminal and enter "lspci -nn" w/o quotes.

:)

 

You'll see something like this:

.......

9:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5752 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1600] (rev 02)

.......

 

In my case – all we need is [14e4:1600]

I do not understand it, why only this it an is not going normally, the others works with this...

 

Yeah I wish I knew :poster_oops:

 

Here is my vendor / Device ID taken from Linux;

 

09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:1673] (rev 02)

 

I've tried editting the BCM5701 and BCM5751 kexts but the best I get is a warning at startup saying the driver couldn't load correctly. I'm no pro so I could be missing something, but I don't think so. Here is basically what I do;

 

-Edit the Info.plist to include my Vendor / Device ID

-Copy in the edited kext, authenticate, replace

-(sometimes I delete the other BCM kexts just to be sure)

-Edit IONetworkingfamily.kext (or just add the edited BCM Kext to the package)

-Open disk util and repair permissions

-Reboot

 

This hasn't worked for me. Is there any D630 user out there with BCM5755M LAN that DOES work? That would quickly settle the matter.

So, here it is: 0x14e4:0x1673

 

How to install:

- remove all occurrences of AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext from both /System/Library/Extensions and /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins

- extract attached .zip anywhere (let's say - to the Desktop) and make sure this is the only file, starting with the "AppleB"

- in terminal:

sudo -s

<root password>

cp -r -v ~Desktop/AppleB* /S*/L*/E*/IONet*/C*/Plug*/

rm -v /S*/L*/E*.mke*

diskutil repairpermissions /

reboot

 

Then boot with the "-v" switch and post here all occurrencies with the "AppleBCM5751Ethernet"

 

Update: this is only a HACK. No warranties then.

And DON'T FORGET TO BACK UP EVERYTHING YOU MODIFY!!!

MenuMeter show this card only 10Mbit speed.

 

What can i do?

Early here in the tread there was a zip file attached for BCM5701. This is how I got it working for BCM5750.

 

Instead of swapping the whole Kext, I opened the original Kext that was in the extension folder and just repacled the 2 files inside the Macos dir of the original kext that came with Kalyways 10.5.2 with those 2 from that zip..

 

One rebbot and it worked :(

blah ...

 

copy my modyfied extension into the /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins

 

Change/Add device into the Info.plist ( still needed, if this not help you must patch with hexeditor my kext )

 

then run

 

sudo -s

cd /

cd /System/Library/Extensions/

ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext

 

rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

 

and reboot.

 

Patching with Hexeditor :

 

-Expample, device id 169c ( bcm 5788 )

-patch on hex 37336 from "66 81 FA 59 16" to "66 81 FA 9C 16".

 

Thats all. I will patch the 10.4.4 drivers too, but currently try to run the 10.4.3

 

 

Just an other host :

http://rapidshare.com/files/155160010/Appl...hernet.kext.zip

 

 

 

 

to be sure

 

 

 

 

hope it´s ok !

 

 

 

 

I have 5751 too, no go here... (and i have intel 2200bg wireless, so my osx i totally networkless right now.)

Looking forward to any progress with this adapter driver!

 

Here you can get you Intel 2200 Wirelles Working:

I've managed to install the necessary drivers for my network card (Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet dev_1677). I've used the attached file provided by Nisa-it (many thanks) and the following terminal commands:

 

sudo -s

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/

cd /System/Library/Extensions/

chmod -R 755 AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext

reboot

 

But now i have another problem... I am also using a router (a Gembird router i don't know the model name) and when i open safari it says that i don't have internet access. Under Network preferences I've entered the IP address, the subnet mask, and the router ip (note - i didn't enter anything for DNS server, because i didn't know what to enter). And in the network preferences it says connected for Ethernet... But i don't have internet access.. I can access my router through safari using my router ip address but i don't have internet access which i mostly need. So can you help me solve this problem??? I've also learned that i don't need to set up my MAC address because i am using a router (now it is set to all zeros 00:00:00:00 etc...). So, PLEASE HELP ME I REALLY NEED INTERNET ACCESS. THANKS!

You need to find out the IP for your DNS in order for your package to find the way out ..

 

 

I think you are very close solve your problem,

 

if you are able to get into your router's setting pages . you will be able to find your DNS information, or just give your ISP a call to find it out .. and also, normally ..ISP will have FAQ page will list their default DNS too ..

 

 

try that

 

have fun
