stoffz Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 still no update on this card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collit99 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My BCM5787(1693) is working partially, I used these following kexts. PCCard.10.5.2.Beta2.pkg.zip AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zip This is on Kalyway 10.5.1 update to 10.5.2 Installed PCCard.10.5.2.beta2 package by Eqaute first, reboot and Installed AppleBCM5751Ethernet by nobb1x using kext helper. MAC is still zeros here are the results.... When connected to a Router, it can obtain IP automatically i can browse for couple of minutes, I was so excited seeing it working until BAM! my hack freezes! need to hold the power button of my ACER Aspire 4310 for 5 to 10 sec to power it off. When connected to a Windows DC(2003) it can't get any IP(need to choose DCHP with Manual IP) tried to browse thru our Proxy Server, I can surf but after a 1 minute or two it won't work(browser will not display webpages). but i'm happy cause it's working(40%?), it's a good start. if only I can figured-out why it's freezing/Hanging.... Thanks to Equate and nobb1x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Is the BCM5787 driver moving anywhere guys? If an experience hacker would want me to be a test bed for whatever he could try to do for this driver I'll be very happy to help (I can connect to the net from my linux box and we could chat on silc/any chat client while I'm editing the driver and reporting back logs/dmesg/messages in real time). System specs I'm running: Kalyway 10.5.1 patched to 10.5.2 on an Acer Aspire 7720zg Pentium Dual Core T2310 4Mbytes ddr2 RAM Nvidia 8400GS VGA ** Lan : Model: "Acer Incorporated [ALI] NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express" Vendor: pci 0x14e4 "Broadcom" Device: pci 0x1693 "NetLink BCM5787M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express" <<Not working>> Wlan: pci.vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' info.product = 'BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI' <<working without any patching>> (but I don't have a wireless hub at the moment, I can connect to a neighbourhood hubs but I don't wanna steal their internet time:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leadhead Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I've been on this thread for a couple weeks now and no progress has been made. I vote we get someone on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 You need something concrete before you can make any progress with it. This is nothing but vaporware. There is no base from which any progress can be made other than a whole lot of wishful thinking. chronox, with all of his 1 posts here, says it's 40% done. He pulled that number out of thin air because he has no way to know that. He's not working on it. Nobody is working on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone who wants to hack around on this and needs a testing buddy I'm here. The linux sourcecode for a working driver is inside the kernel source, I wonder if there is a free/openbsd one available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas_man Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 i got linux source code for that driver but i dont think that there is for bsd. but anyone tried any freebsd installation on your laptop? if yes did the lan card worked? if yes.... we are lucky.

audiaudi Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I think i´v found the FreeBSD driver: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/bge/ Maybe someone can port it over to osx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aomethai Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I used speedstep kernel. it working 40% and need restart when connect to internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPimpin Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Can someone explain what the 40% figure is supposed to mean? I've been working with computers and networks a long time. Saying it works 40% makes no sense at all. It either works or it doesn't. That's like saying someone is "a little bit pregnant". She is or she isn't and there's no 40% middle ground. Throwing around that 40% number is misleading a lot of people because if it's meaningless to people in the profession then it has to be confusing to ordinary users. The truth is that it does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigPimpin Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 You have to start a journey before you can progress to your destination. The current situation is everyone sitting around talking about a journey they would like to make, i.e. all talk and no action. Asking about progress is futile.
