PC: Acer Aspire 2920 ( Intel Core 2 Duo chipset: intel 965)
Mac Os X: 10.6.6i By hazard
p.s.: I have also tried to install max os x 10.6.2 but the result is the same with this kext my lan don't working.... in mac manager as Ethernet Cards don't result anything.
p.p.s. after added the kext file in library directory displays a message :
System extesion cannot be used
The system extension " /System/library ........." was installed improperly and cannot be used.
Please try reinstalling it....
what's my problem?
thank u guys

hi,
usually that error message pops up when kext doesn't have the proper permission. To fix this, you need to change the kext permission
either run disk utility then repair permission
or in terminal,
Code:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo chmod -R 755 BCM5722D.kext
sudo chown -R 0:0 BCM5722D.kext
a simpler solution is to install using Kext Helper (as of this reply, the main site is currently down. the link points to kexts.com download)
