Raaschou Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I've found a kext (from Apple Darwin) that works with my ethernet card (Broadcom). Where do I add it, and make OSX use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svrider1000 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 What is the name of the kext file? I need that one also. I think it would go somewhere in \System\Library\Extensions but I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raaschou Posted December 16, 2005 Author Share Posted December 16, 2005 You can find the kext in Apple Darwin 7 (located at http://www.opendarwin.org/ ). It's called "AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext.tar.gz" It should work (according to "some guy" how made it work on his) on most Broadcom chipsets in the BCM57xx line...

jrrjrr Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I think you will find that a kext needs to be recompiled from source against the kernel you want to run it with, in order for it to have a chance of even loading. But keep us posted, because I hope I am wrong in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
