BCM5722 is also working for my BCM 5754.

I just have to sort out the blank MAC address and give it some proper testing.

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?

anyway I checked the linux and *bsd driver, it seems that, there are some fixes/additional initialization steps/different register value for that model. maybe it has something to do with that, I'll try to include those changes and send you the kext to test this weekend.

thank you for testing!
