MAC OS X86 on DELL D800

[pgiom]

Hello!

I'm new in this forum and I'm not so expert with macs...

I was succesful enabling broadcom 57xx on my tablet c302, but not on my aspire 1694. I followed the steps at the beginning of this thread, then I've tryed changing vendor and dev. id (for me 14e4 - 169c) but without result.

Network in preferences show me only d-link g-122 wireless adaptor... (working at the moment).

I read that after changing dev id I've to do something else like rebuild kextcache or something like that...

Could anyone help me?

Thanks. (This forum is very helpful!!! :)

Hello Together,

 

i have found a Solution that works for my Dell D800 Broadcom Card (Model 570x, Gigabit Integrated Controller, Vendor 14E4,Device 165D)

My System is an patched MacOS 10.4.5.

 

What have I done:

 

1. I Found a patched Driver somewhere here in the Board (Sorry, I have read so many threads, that I have forgotten the Name of the real publisher)

2. This Driver ist attended to this Post. I hope the patcher will allow this

3. Copy this Driver File to the Mac Desktop

4. Open Finder and navigate to System/Library/Extensions

5. Find the IONetworkingFamily.kext and copy it also to your Desktop

6. Mark it with the right Mousebutton and select "Show Package Content" or so.

-- Sorry I'm using a German Language OSX and so i don't know the real English Button Names. I think you will be able to find the correct ones ;-) --

7. Move in the opend KEXT to Contents and then to PlugIns

8. Find AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext and copy it to Desktop

-- The Copy to Desktop Actions are neccesary, otherwhile you could not edit the KEXT Files --

9. Mark the AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext with right Mouseclick and choose "Show Package Content" or so, like above

10. Navigate to Contents - MacOS

11. There You will find a File called AppleBCM5701Ethernet

12. Overwrite/ Replace this File with the patched one from your Desktop

13. During all these Steps it is possible that you have to Identify with your Root Passwort. Do so and you are able to replace the Files

14. At this time you have placed the modified Driver in the AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext ON YOUR DESKTOP

15. Now its time to complete the IONetworkingFamily.kext on YOUR DESKTOP

16. Therefore mark the in Step 5 copied File on Desktop with right MB and select "Show Package Content" or so

17. In the opend Package navigate to Contents-PlugIns

18. Copy your modified AppleBCM5701Ethernet (Step 14) from Desktop to this package. Replace the old One

19. After closing you got a modified IONetworkingFamily.kext on the Desktop

20. Now you have to copy this File to your System/Library/Extension Folder.

21. Navigate there with Finder and replace the existing one with the modified one from Desktop

22. The KEXT is now replaced an you have to do some jobs in the Terminal

23. Open Terminal and execute the following Commands:

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

24. Now you have to do a Reboot.

25. The Network should now work

26. At my System an other Error occured.After the second Reboot OSX showed that the patched File was not correct loaded. The Network was again greyed out :-(((

27. To handle this problem, open the DiskManagement Tool form MAC OSX.

38. Choosee your Systempartition and select the Opinion to repair the Acces Rights on this Volume.

39. After the next reboot the System worked fine and the Network Card was working

 

I hope this Workarround works also for your System. My special thanks goes to the real Patcher of the Driver. Sorry that I have forgotten his Name. Without his patching my Network would never come to live....

Thanx humanmx for great instructions.

driver worked fine for me on broadcom 570 Gigabit ethernet chip in an hp d330 machine.

[rmcdra]

I have a Dell 8400 w/a Broadcom adapter. It is a 14e4,1677. I've done up to step 11 in UAL808's post. then followed the instructions here - but no matter what I try, I get a "ifconfig: interface en0 does not exist".

 

Any ideas???

 

Check your version of OS X. I was having the same problem but I had 10.4.1 installed and these instructions are for 10.4.3 or newer versions.

[brokenglass]

Thank you, this was very good.

 

Now it works.

Just thought that I would post to everyone that I have gotten MAC OSX86 running native on a Dell D800:

 

MAC OSX86 811111G (JAS 4.2 Patch)

Processor: 2.0 Ghz Centrino Processor

RAM: 2 GB

Video: Nvidia Go5650 - 128 MB

Internal Ethernet: Broadcom 57xx (working 100Mb)

Wireless: Intell 2200BG (not working)

Bluetooth (working)

 

As far as I can tell it is smoking fast, and runs stable. I have running MSN Messenger as well, and I am going to attempt a couple of additional software installation tonight.

I have a Latitude D800 with 1.7 GHz Pentium M, 1 GB Ram, an Nvidia Geforce4 4200 GO which does not work. The sound, network, and wireless all work. My main concern is the graphics card, if anyone had instructions on how to enable resolution selection and QE on the Geforce4 4200 GO it would be greatly appreciated.

[cw4u]

I followed the instructions, and the kext seems to load. My problem is that darwin spits out a good bit of information while os x is loading like: Device is unkown, get adapter info failed, disable () called when not gated, etc. Does anybody have any ideas? This is the only piece of hardware that is not working on my laptop.

[BoBoeBoe]

Do you have the pcmcia slot also working?

My laptop is Dell D810 with the same CPU as yours. However, the system cannot recongnize the CPU, so it runs at a speed of 800MHz. Did you meet the same problem with me? btw, where did you find the driver for Ethernet?

Thanks a lot

[cw4u]

I do have the PCMCIA working. I used a kext for the TI xx21.

[cw4u]

I just upgraded to 10.4.8, and it did detect the card, but was grayed out. When I installed the driver for my Intel Wireless 2200, the Broadcom is no longer there. Any help would be appreciated.

[Mr Moogly]

Hi all. Not to take this in a different direction, but I have a problem other then networking on a Latitude D800.

Is anyone else having sound issues? Only half of the sounds work. No sound when playing video, just the 'beeps n bells' are working. Like midi-sounds or something.

 

I'm running 10.4.7, updated from a JaS 10.4.6 install.

I'd list the built-in audio, but it's not listed under System Profile, like it's not fully detected.

 

Thanks,

Moogly

[needhelp]

G'Day,

can you tell me how do you fix your network problem exactly?

because of mine also is broadcom 57xx adapter.

thanks,

[tjammer]

Hi

 

I have the BCM 57xx card in Dell620, it's recognized and working, but just as long as i don't use any http or something similar.

Upon web browsing the computer hangs almost instantly.

 

 

telnet however is working just fine

[pxgnet]

Hello all, any advice would be helpful on this topic.. I have installed the Jas 10.4.8 OSx on my Dell Latitude D420. Everything is working pretty well except networking. I can live without ethernet or wireless but not both. I followed the instructions below and here is where I get into an issue, at this step

 

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions <-- I get the follwoing system response "can not create bundle"

 

I rolled back to the original file that came as part of the Jas installed Disc (I had saved a copy) and rebooted with the -f -v flags to watch the booting process and saw the same error during the boot process "can not create bundle" after the same command was being issued by the boot process.

 

I even tried turning off my wireless card in the BIOS, same issue. Any help would be appreciated... an unnetworked computer with any OS is basically useless now a days.

 

I have a dual boot partition and can go back and forth from OSx and XP, so I am not crippled at work.

 

help.

Hi

 

I have the BCM 57xx card in Dell620, it's recognized and working, but just as long as i don't use any http or something similar.

Upon web browsing the computer hangs almost instantly.

telnet however is working just fine

 

 

 

I'm seeing the same thing after following this, with 10.4.10

 

Did you get anywhere with it?

 

I'm going to try and work on this over the next couple of days, but I don't really expect to get very far with it

[EqUaTe]

I did see some slightly different behaviour when I left the mac address and manually set the IP & subnet, in that I was able to get google and a couple of other sites in safari, however the machine hardlocked when I tried to get the update list..

 

Haven't had a chance to look at it since.

[Pharao2k]

I am a little confused about the howto.

The attached file has the image of a kext-file, which, as far as I understand the system so far, have to be put in /System/Library/Extensions. But the howto says in this file, a file should be moved inside another already existing file...wouldn´t it be easier to use this file insted which seams to be already modified?

And second, the file, which should be copied and the one which should be replaced, have different icons...Am I doing something wrong?

[EqUaTe]

The pre-modified file may not match what you need. It's for a specific set of ID's.

[NecronoiD]

Any new around BCM 57xx stability problems? I had it in 10.4.8 with the kext working without mac address so in a switched network couldn't manage to browse.

 

Any improvements with uphunck 10.4.9 1.4r3?

 

Everything else goes fast and smooth
