mihai Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 Hi all, I have a Dell Latitude D610 which i installed 8F1111 and the installation went fine but i can't get the internal network card to work. Any ideas what i can do. I have installed OSx86 on a removable USB device. I have tried to boot up on a Dell Latitude D600 which was the previous model and on that model the network works fine but on mine it doesn't show up. Does anybody have any ideas how i can get it to work ? I will appreciate any ideas as the operating system is in no use without network connection.

hodgeman Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have that file, but what needs to be done to it? I cannot uncompress it using normal NOOB means Can you be a bit more specific please? Sorry for being a noob, but EVERYONE was a noob at one time Thanks in advance hm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5956-dell-latitude-d610-and-broadcom-57xx-any-ideas/#findComment-37544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankscuzzo Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 (edited) mihai, you were able to install on the d600? I have been unsucessful on that laptop. I installed using vmware and once swapping out the disks, things lock up. Which patches did you use for the dvd? As for the kext, have you tried something like: sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext I was unable to get the broadcom working on 8f1099 (nd above kext did not work), but everything works fine on 10.4.3 right from install.

hodgeman Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I am getting a kext not authentic (check ownership and permissions) I have chmod'd it to root:wheel, but no luck yet I am trying an HP nc6000 Don't have either the Broadcom NetXtreme or the wireless. Hoping this would let me at least use the internal Gigabit card. Thanks for the file.

Tak Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I have a Dell Latitude D610 which i installed 8F1111 and the installation went fine but i can't get the internal network card to work. Your BCM5751 (PCI-E bus) isn't supported - read the Wiki.

SausageBoy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Tak, where do you find the exact version numbers on the hardware in preassembled computers? The HP homepage just gives me yadda-yadda. Or maybe you own the computer in question? I can't make ethernet work in my dc7600, most likely for the same reason. Someone should port the Linux tg3 driver...

mihai Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Thanx all for the replies. I have tried the kext file but i can´t get it to load. I do chmod as told earlier in the email but i still get the error that it´s not authentic. How can i know if a kext is loaded or is to be loaded ? Is there a list of those kext that the OS loads ? Any other ideas ? Right now with option -t for kextload i get : Validation failures { "Executable file doesn´t contain kernel extension code" = true } Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5956-dell-latitude-d610-and-broadcom-57xx-any-ideas/#findComment-37793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausageBoy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Do a command like this: sudo chown -R root:wheel Apple[TAB] Actually press TAB, it will fill in the rest of the filename for you. typing kextstat in the terminal will give you a list of loaded kext's.

mihai Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 :Thanx. Just tried it. I now get the above error and it looks like the driver is not made for OSx86 or at least that is what i read on the forum. I guess there is no possibility to get the internal network card to work. It´s so sad because i really wanted to try Apple but can´t really use it without net.

Tak Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 (edited) Tak, where do you find the exact version numbers on the hardware in preassembled computers? The HP homepage just gives me yadda-yadda. In WinXP, you can get the device and vendor IDs from device manager, under details: e.g. VEN_10B7&DEV9050 In OS X they are in system profiler then look up the IDs here: http://pciids.sourceforge.net/ http://www.pcidatabase.com/ Edited December 20, 2005 by Tak Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5956-dell-latitude-d610-and-broadcom-57xx-any-ideas/#findComment-37798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SausageBoy Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 System Profiler couldn't find anything...wierd... I'll try with a Linux live CD tomorrow.
