yuri1312 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Hello. I've already read that many ppl are having problems with this card and similar cards from Broadcom. What I'd like to know is if there is any Aditional .Kext file or Third Party Driver that can be added to make such a card work under osx86 Thanks Yuri1312 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/711-broadcom-netxtreme-bcm5788-gigabit-nic/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuri1312 Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Just thought i'd bump this one up before it fell into oblivion So does anyone know of any third party kext for this card or similar?

flatlyna Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 yeah me too, got the 5788 in my Acer 1692 that I'd like to see working. Modifiying the Info.plist for the Broadcom 57xx driver didnt work. At least I got my wireless working.

cyrana Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 No one has it working, it won't work until the Broadcom driver that is in Darwin gets an update someday.

Peelers Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 bump I have a Broadcom 5788 NetXtreme Gigabit in my acer ferrari 3200 and its woking good, no problem... you have to edit the broadcom kext file and add the hardware id in it then use a hex editor and edit 1 other places that I forgot where, I have to try to find my note on how to do it...

Hi Peelers, I have the same laptop, so I have the same card but can't get it to work. I found a procedure in this topic but this didn't seem to work. Can you give my a step by step guide of what I have to do to get it to work ?? I'm running 10.4.5 (10.4.4 with 10.4.5 upgrade). Thanks.
