But there's one problem - after loading the kext my system slowed down a lot. I barely managed to type sudo kextunload BCM5722D.kext in terminal. I didn't got such effects after loading hexedited plugin.
About 5 minutes later I used kextload command and got slow down again - but the negative effect was much lighter, I'd say about one tenth of first one.
Maybe it might have something to do with code optimizations? I really dunno.

I keep my fingers crossed for this project - who knows, how long 10.6.3 kext is going to work? It may get broken in Lion or even next update.

Regards,
Astarael

PS Sorry for my English, still learning

Hi, sorry it took me so long, I've been very busy recently.
Anyway, I placed the kext you gave me in /S/L/E, then chmod and chown it and loaded it with kextload. This is what I got in system Console:
Code:
11-04-18 18:13:12	sudo[255]	astarael : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/astarael ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/kextload /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext/

11-04-18 18:13:14	kernel	BCM5722D (startAutoNegotiation:590): Adv reg: 5E1
I'm not sure if it is what you wanted

PS I wouldn't advise using KextHelper in Snow Leopard - it doesn't work well. You might want to test KextWizard instead (I won't post a link 'cos I'm not sure if it is permitted :P)

did the problem still persist?
is that the only message logged for the kext? and after that your system starts slowing down?

PS, yeah, kexthelper freeze on exit that it requires force quitting, though i didn't bother looking for another since the app still does what it should do . Anyway thank you for the advice, I'll try the app you mentioned and update the first post.

I can't see anything about BCM in my system.log and even my /var/log directory
Quote:
bash-3.2# pwd
/var/log
bash-3.2# grep BCM *
bash-3.2# ls /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext/Contents/

If the kext is loaded, it should at least shows a build date/time. So that means the kext isn't loaded. Actually I didn't have the chance to see the image of error message you posted before, can you post it again?

I just tried to load this kext manually in terminal:
Quote:
bash-3.2# kextload BCM5722D.kext/
/Users/oo/Downloads/BCM5722D.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) authentication failure (file ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).
bash-3.2#
