Adlan,

Would it be possible to add support for BCM5723? I added the device id (165b) to plist. The kext gets loaded, but when I try to use it I get

serviceRxInterrupt:1036): replaceOrCopyPacket returns 0
and a bunch of messages like
outputPacket:568: 1514 -> 2 segments, 1 free, consumer index: 59

Thank you.

OS X 10.6.8 and Broadcom 5754 (14e4-167a) working 100%
 
Congratulations! Great job!

Works perfect! :)

Off topic: I am using a DELL 390 (with this nic and a Quadro NVS 285 do you happen to have any info/link for Quadro NVS 285? It's all I need for a smoothly running hackintosh with DELL 390 and OS X 10.6.8 (upgraded from iATKOS S3 v2 using 10.6.8 Combo Update 1.1)

Thanks!!!

I've tried this on my Acer Aspire 2920.

It works!

After 2 weeks I was looking for suitable driver, now works!

Thank you. I love you!

Sleep not working?

Only unload&load kext after sleep to get it work again?

Gigabit Speeds
 
Is there any progress on getting this Kext to operate at gigabit speeds... the best I can get is 100baseTX.

It was my cable... the driver works fine at gigabit.

THANKS!

----ing great.
 
Before I say something to you,
did someone say that you are damn good developer who
developer these drivers.. If no one haven't done that then I would
love to say that you ARE ----IING good.... Please excuse my language.

This damn thing took me 4 days to find these drivers and after doing
what you have said in this thread, it worked like a CHARM.....

I do appreciate from the bottom of my heart that you developed and shared
this with other users. I mean it.

Though I am also a software developer and mostly develop applications
in Microsoft technologies i.e. .Net etc and was keen to start
some software development for iPhone, I just couldn't get the drivers of this damn
LAN.

You are a saviour, once again thank you very much for developing and
sharing this with us...... THanks.

Thanks adlan for the great driver.
I get stuck with Broadcom BCM5786 [14e4:169a]
I am not sure what should be edited in your source code, could you please show me how to do it ?
Thank.

Updated:
Luckily, I added [14e4:169a] definition to plist, recompile and install IONetworkingFamily.kext of my friend, and now everything works like charm.

silicman 03-11-2012 03:21 AM

Just want to say thank, adlan, love you!!!!

Your driver work for my Ethernet card, the Broadcom 5752, which on the old guy DELL 490 with some minor fix.

I did 2 minor fix on your kext to support Broadcom 5752:

1. infor.plist. I replace <string>pci14e4,167A</string> with <string>pci14e4,1600</string>
2. BCM5722D. I hex this file, looking for "7A 16" then replace all with "00 16". (flip word anyway).

Finally, I put them inside IONetworking kext which replace the original one. Reinstall this kext. Re-build cache. Re boot. Viola!!!

No kernal panic, MAC address just there, DHCP ok, even though I haven't plug in network yet.


Which OS I run huh? iAtKos L2 (Lion 10.7.2).

Thank you so much, adlan.

Work like charm for acer aspire 2920. The next i have been looking for..

chefk0k 04-07-2012 09:14 PM

Thanks a lot for you work on making this driver.

I need a working Kext for the desktop version of this network card: Broadcom BCM5784. (Without the M)
Is there any way to modify this kext for it to work on the non-M version?
I'm on OSX 10.6.8. (AMD)

Modifying the .plist is your best bet :)

I have a Broadcom Nextreme Gigabit network controller and i tried putting in the BCM5722D.kext using Kextdrop but the internet will not work. I look under the Network setting and none appear. Any suggestions. Thanks for your help. Any more information needed let me know.

Works for Dell Precision T5400 w/Broadcom 5754
 
Used kextWizard 3.7.10 and installed and rebooted in 1 min.

At first glance, worked perfectly. DHCP, mac address, until....

UPDATE: Networking stops working after awaking from sleep, as others have said. I didn't see that resolved in the thread...did I miss something?

Thank you very much for your hard work in developing this driver!

I have a small problem though, I have a BCM5755 and everything works but the driver crashes after copying lots of data over the LAN (roughly 100GB or 60k packets). Unloading the driver and reloading does not fix it and I have to reboot to get networking back.

Any ideas why this is happening and anything I can try to get it fixed?

Downloaded the source code and made some slight changes + added the BCM5784M 0x1698 device, compiled for ML ...
Still have 6 Semantic Issues and 5 Logic errors in the code but the compilation went fine. It works but after some intense usage, as symbiote187 pointed out, it stops working and the only solution is to reboot.
I am not a coder so ... but i really appreciate your involvement on this and i Thank You!

I have the same device and vendor ID for ethernet as this kext 14e4:1698. But will my ethernet work since my wireless card is unsupported (1510 AGN) ??? I am trying to get my ethernet to work on a Dell Studio 1555 running on P8600 CPU and 512 MB ATI mobility 4570. Thanks for anyone's reply.

Try this one http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=3074 if you are using ML
