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
