Thx adlan,

works great on my lenovo S20 at works

lol, don't worry i've got some plants for these Zombies

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.

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..

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.

Thank you so much. I finally have internet.

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?

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?
