Thanks, adlan
Maybe I should show my NIC information first:
Quote:
14e4;
Broadcom Corporation;
167a;
NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express;
Network controller;
Ethernet controller
So now I change the permission of the kext file:
Code:
oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ ls BCM5722D.kext/
Contents
oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ sudo chown -R root:wheel BCM5722D.kext
oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ sudo chmod -R 755 BCM5722D.kext
oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ sudo kextload BCM5722D.kext
It seems nothing happen.
THe log is:
Code:
oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ grep BCM /var/log/*
/var/log/system.log:May 18 15:35:29 oos-iMac sudo[155]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown -R root:wheel BCM5722D.kext
/var/log/system.log:May 18 15:35:40 oos-iMac sudo[156]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/chmod -R 755 BCM5722D.kext
/var/log/system.log:May 18 15:35:49 oos-iMac sudo[157]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/kextload BCM5722D.kext
oos-iMac:Downloads oo$
Thank you all the same
