You got my 5906M card working (even in Lion)! I'm almost speechless. I never thought that would happen! You rock! Thank you. :)

Dell XPS m1330
Hi,
I have a Dell XPS m1330, Hardware Info reports a 5906M network card, but I tried to install your driver without success: I can't see any new interface in System Preferences / Network. In /var/log the only mention I found is in system.log: com.apple.kextd[10]: BCM5722D.kext has no Info.plist file. com.apple.kextcache[591]: BCM5722D.kext has no Info.plist file. Any idea? Thank you Marco |

OMG i've found this thread and I'm ruined.
Because I was writing my own driver for bcm5906m too :) I started reading 5722-PG101-R.pdf and if_bge.c in January and just today got working rx and tx without checksum offloading support, multicast and power state switching. And now I don't know what to do, either to delete my http://code.google.com/p/osx-bcm5906m/ project which is still under construction, or finish the driver and upload it there, but now it doesn't make any sense :confused: |

initially, i developed this driver for my card(5787m), since bcm5906 is also documented in the manual, i decided to support the model. since you have started, don't stop! just finish it, take this as an exercise for you, it gives you experience and it can be beneficial to you and the community in the future. surely it seems like a waste of time, but it's your choice. if it were for me, i would go for that route ;) |

Superb! Better to have a log with only, my_name_adlan_BCM5722D: Model: BCM5787M NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet my_name_adlan_BCM5722D: Ethernet address 00:11:22:33:44:55 This way, much cleaner. Thanks |
