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!

Hi adlan, all,

after having no solution for my onboard nic i decided to give it a try and changed/added my device id to info.plist, like some other here as well

.

The result is as follow:

Code:

en1: flags=8822<BROADCAST,SMART,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
	ether 00:25:22:bc:b8:9b 
	media: <unknown type>

Do you think there is any chance to get this working somehow?

Any help is much appreciated. Many thanks
M

after some more testing I now get following:

Code:

en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
	ether 00:25:22:bc:b8:9b 
	inet6 fe80::225:22ff:febc:b89b%en1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x5 
	inet 169.254.217.110 netmask 0xffff0000 broadcast 169.254.255.255
	media: autoselect (1000baseT <half-duplex>)
	status: active

of course...it still doesn't work. but why is it different now?

Hi Adlan,

I inserted the 1677 to the kext plist. The driver loads, assigns the correct MAC address, but does not transmit and recieve.

Is there anything else I should do?

Thanks.

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.

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!!!

Hello Adlan

I am very interested in getting the latest kext of BCM5722D, but I have no idea, how compile or make your GIT repository code, you can give me a hand?

thanks for that wonderful work

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.
