Gambit642 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 AppleBCM440Ethernet.kext is removed from /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkFamily.kext in 10.5.2. So basically the driver is missing. If you use the original kext from 10.5.1, the network connection drops after a few minutes or under high CPU utilization (until you refresh new DHCP info). I have a AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext which, when applied, seems to keep OS X from booting (mDNSResponder loop). Anyone have the latest working stable driver for 10.5.2?
