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
i've uploaded the non-chatty version.

thanks!

Hi guys I've got an Acer Aspire 2920 with broadcom BCM5787M.
I tried to add the file in attachment of this post "BCM5722D.kext" in system\library\extesion but after reboot my lan still don't work... .


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
greetings from Italy

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)

I have device 14e4:167b Broadcomm 5755 onboard nic on an hp xw6600 machine. The kext appears to fail to do anything at all. There is no mention of it in any of the logs in var/log

i've tried deleting and reinstalling the kext with both kext helper b7 and kext wizard, and rebuilding kext cache. I've tried using the zip file attachee to this thread, and rebuilding the kext from the source. No difference. I verified the device id w/ dpci manager.

Not sure what else to try?

it "works" with the hacked 5701 kext floating around, in that it gets an ip and can connect, but the hacked 5701 has horrible upload problems that make it incredibly slow or times out, which is why I arrived here.

Any ideas?

After you start your system, try to type in the terminal kextstat | grep BCM and see if there are any results. If not - kext in fact is not being loaded at all...
Did you trierd to force it with kextload command?

try as what Astarael said, try loading the kext manually, and look for any fail message logged. if the kext is loading, it should at least log a build date/time message.

actually there has been a report on the same behavior as this. i'm still investigating what causes this problem and most likely come to a dead end.

btw, do you have a vanilla or distro install?

I didn't wan to say it to early, but now it seems to be fine... Somehow :P
The kext is loaded since about 24 hours and slow-down event didn't occur. At least so far
While searching BCM in Console I got more results now. These is all I got since I have loaded the kext.

PS I hardly ever connect via ethernet, but I tested the drive before and connection was fine. Now I see controller in ifconfig output and system profile so I think it shall work too. Anyway, I will do some tests once I get back home for Easter.

Try this one, it works for my HP xw4400 works with the onboard broadcom 167b. I've tried it with 10.6.2 - 10.6.7
