olaeke Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I have managed to get my Broadcom BCM5752 to work! (14E4/1600) Copy my modyfied extension into the /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins Then run the following: 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 Reboot! It doesn't really work 100%, MacOS crash now and then. It seems to crash a bit less often if you go into Network, ethernet and set to "100BaseTX" and "Full Duplex/Flow control" instead of automatic. I read about that tip from someone here on the forum, thanks, who ever it was who came up with that! Good luck!

olaeke Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Try setting your ethernet card to 100BaseTX and Full Duplex/Flow control, instead of automatic (default). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartry666 Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 Running "uphuck_10.4.9_v1.4i_r2.iso" with "edited" AppleBCM5701.kext. Changed it to my card's DEV, 1600 (Nextreme 5752). Your fix has my system not working any better than before. I have noticed the driver always work - initially. After trying to send/receive a large number of packages (>3000) network utility reports all packages as errors (even if you disconnect the network cable afterwards). The solution must be in identifying what causes the driver to stop working, since before that its just fine, with MAC address, DHCP, the works. I have looked at grep and the logs at the time of the problem and there is NO event recorded. Any help on keeping this issue alive is much appreciated!

d620 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Same issue here Anybody get a solution ? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelyxx Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 D620 here as well. This is the closest i've got to getting this up and running. Have followed other examples with no luck. Able to get the interface up, get IP through DHCP. After 2 min of any TCP/IP app, it stops working. Need to restart. MAC address also shows correctly.

nadakidd Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 since the kext files (and their internals -- the ones we edit) have changed in 10.5.x, how do you get this to work?

olaeke Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Not that I know of... I've heard about a development project, but it was at least half a year ago I saw any progress. Has there been any update to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaptic Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I have the Broadcom 440 on a Dell 9400 with a 10.5.2 Kalyway install with the same problem - after a few minutes of working off DHCP it stops picking up an IP address. This only happens on the home network (I connect directly to a Linksys Range Expander). At my university's ethernet network Im on all day without a problem. Going to try to switch from automatic to full duplex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jiahongyuan Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have downloaded the driver AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext.zip ,and installed it. The ethernet is found by sytem, but it don't work and it often results in the system broken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
