adlan

Source is synced with your latest binary release ?

@adlanIf the kext is loaded, it should at least shows a build date/time. So that means the kext isn't loaded. Actually I didn't have the chance to see the image of error message you posted before, can you post it again?

I just tried to load this kext manually in terminal:

bash-3.2# kextload BCM5722D.kext/ /Users/oo/Downloads/BCM5722D.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) authentication failure (file ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). bash-3.2#

@adlanyou need to change the kext ownership/permissions , else kextd will not load the kext. sudo chown -R root:wheel BCM5722D.kext sudo chmod -R 755 BCM5722D.kext

Thanks, adlan
Maybe I should show my NIC information first:

14e4; Broadcom Corporation; 167a; NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express; Network controller; Ethernet controller

So now I change the permission of the kext file:

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:

oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ grep BCM /var/log/*

You fix it where you installed the kexts.

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext
chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext
touch /System/Library/Extensions

@rals2007fyooo You fix it where you installed the kexts. chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext touch /System/Library/Extensions

I'd tried to use KextHelper to install this kext, but it can not work.
I can't see any information about BCM in system.log

@adlantry loading it using kextutil with high verbosity level and put its output here sudo kextutil -v 4 BCM5722D.kext

Thanks, that's what it shows:

I always need to use IPv6 proxy for connecting to internet.
However,I find the driver may has some problem of IPv6 proxy,
which is that the connection of IPv6 proxy becomes disconnected sooner or later.
I can figure out it is not cause by the proxy.
But I found a temper solution that ifconfig the en0 down and up.

Hi i was having the same trouble with BCM 5754 on dell optiplex 745. 10.6.7 retail install

lspci -nn result:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:167a] (rev 02)

I fixe this changing in info.plist of kext this line:
pci14e4,167A -> pci14e4,167a

Deep sleep working

it made some weeks i search, now both i386 and x86_64 working fine.

Fred

I've installed Lion on my optiplex 745.

BCM5722 is also working for my BCM 5754.

Fred

Ps: ATI 4350 is also working without green apple and qe/ci enable.

@adlanit works on 5706 too? great! problem is expected, though. I'll look at it when I have time. However, I do hope others to contribute to add support for other model if possible. But, since project documentation is currently sparse, I'm not expecting any anyway, thank you for testing!

I am sorry， I make a mistake.It 's bcm5906.,not BCM5706.
:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(

@adlanI really have no idea what's causing that problem and now you found the culprit. my bad, I totally missed that and to be honest, at first look I wouldn't have thought that would cause a problem.. my observation, I may be wrong. .. and indeed it is. I've gone through the xnu source code and manually tracing function calls for the kext…

adlan&FredWst
It works!

The new version works well for BCM5906M in sl 10.6.7

@fyoooadlan&FredWst It works!

Thanks .I think the IPv6 proxy problem posted before just disappear.
The ifconfig en0 down and ifconfig en0 up commons dos't need anymore.

Hi Adlan... thanks for your work on this, I've been suffering with hex-editing the original 5701 kext trying to get my card working (device ID 1681). I thought on the off-chance I'd try your kext and with an Info.plist addition it picked it up straight away - really impressed!

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

@cephalopodHi Adlan... thanks for your work on this, I've been suffering with hex-editing the original 5701 kext trying to get my card working (device ID 1681). I thought on the off-chance I'd try your kext and with an Info.plist addition it picked it up straight away - really impressed! I just have to sort out the blank MAC address and give it…

Oddly, on reboot with a link the MAC address is identified but the speed isn't negotiated properly... on first attempt to do anything with the interface/driver it drops the connection permanently, preventing reconfiguration; only resuming use after another reboot. Any ideas Adlan please?

work flawlesly with 5754 on Dell optiplex 745

thank's adlan, you rock..

thank god to show me the page 7 & 8 now time to work with GMA3000, hope work soon.

many thank's adlan.

@scritchyI 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…

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

Dell Optiplex 330

Thanks for your driver. Able to install and detect BCM5787 but DHCP wasn't able to grab a valid IP keep geting 169.x.x.x. Even static IP i was not able to connect to Internet.

Any idea what went wrong?

@adlansorry for the lateness, been quite busy for the last few days. 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.…

Thanks adlan... appreciate life is hectic - keen to test when you're ready.

Thanks for all the hard work on this one ceph.

Successful install with a BCM5755M on a Dell Precision M4300.

I've got one more thing to test for those, who have problem with loading the kext. I've been recently helping with os x installation on lenovo y530 (or sth like that) and installing the kext was not enough to make BCM5906M ethernet card work. Adding Device (LAN) in DSDT solved the problem (there was no ethernet device at all) and ethernet works fine.

BCM57781 - 14e4:16b1

tried it on Lion with a BCM57781 (14e4:16b1).
Changed the info.plist - driver loads - ifconfig shows en0, link speed is fine, but no packets are sent or received.
Any idea?

Thanks,
Christian

Onboard Broadcom® 5754 Gigabit Ethernet LAN solution 10/100/1000 Ethernet (Dell Optiplex 745 desktop PC) works fine (as of now) on H@ckint0sh OS X Lion 10.7 with your BCM5722D.kext.zip

ethernet:

Type: Ethernet Controller
Bus: PCI
Vendor ID: 0x14e4
Device ID: 0x167a

Indeed the problem with your earlier revision lied in the upper case alphabetical characters in device ID string. They needed to be lower case.

Thanks a million times for your time and effort.

Hey, we used Xcode to compile the kext again using your latest sources. The best we can get now is 100BaseTX Full-Duplex. Using the kext from May it loaded up as half duplex 100BaseTX. It does seem to drop out the connection after a few hours and requires the kext to be unloaded and reloaded. This is on a Dell poweredge T110.

Any ideas on getting 1000BaseT Full duplex working?
I tried forcing the setting but it will either show cable unplugged or it does a self assigned IP and manually setting it does nothing. Now on a side note it doesn't need the MAC address manually set anymore, it is able to pick it up from the hardware.

Another side note... Do you know of any working pci-e GigE LAN cards that will work in osx? As work will buy the card that will work for the machine.

BCM57781 - 14e4,16b1

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:

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

BCM57781 - 14e4,16b1

after some more testing I now get following:

en1: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
	ether 00:25:22:bc:b8:9b

	media: autoselect (1000baseT <half-duplex>)
	status: active

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

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?

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

Latest KEXT

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

my lan detected,, but no internet connection or cannot ping to another pc on net,,

i am add in Info.plist

--------
<string>pci14e4.16b5</string>
---------

it's detect my lan,, but cannot get connection,,

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!

Sleep not working?

Only unload&load kext after sleep to get it work again?

Gigabit Speeds

Is there any progress on getting this Kext to operate at gigabit speeds... the best I can get is 100baseTX.

It was my cable... the driver works fine at gigabit.

ing great.

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.

Thx adlan,

works great on my lenovo S20 at works

@adlanDisclaimer This driver is neither supported nor endorsed by Broadcom. Zombies may invade your house and I take no responsibility for whatever happens. Use at your own risk

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..

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?

Downloaded the source code and made some slight changes + added the BCM5784M 0x1698 device, compiled for ML ...
Still have 6 Semantic Issues and 5 Logic errors in the code but the compilation went fine. It works but after some intense usage, as symbiote187 pointed out, it stops working and the only solution is to reboot.
I am not a coder so ... but i really appreciate your involvement on this and i Thank You!
