great!, I didn't expect that, if it works flawlessly, I'll add it to the supported models list. thank you for testing! :) |
Does not work on the Dell PowerEdge T110 (brand new Intel Xeon server)
14e4:165A kext appears to be able to be manually loaded but will not auto load and will not 'see' the device. LSPCI can see the card it is the BCM5722. So since the kext will not attach to the card there is no network support |
Quote:
Despite the project name, I actually left BCM5722 out of the supported model list and didn't considered it while developing. I'll check the programmer manual and send you the kext to test if there is any modification to the code to support this model as soon as possible (probably this weekend). |
dell precision t7400
Hi mate, I tried the kext on this box but the kext is not even loaded (s/l/e)
I also put the kext in ionetworkingfamily,kext/contents/plugins but no luck either (ionetworkingfamily does get loaded). 10.6.7 x64 lspci -nn turns: 14e4_167a rev 02 thanks in advance for any help. |
I did actually get it to almost work. I had to manually set the MAC address for my work network to allow DHCP on my corporate network to assign an IP for me. It starts to load a webpage and KP! With complaints about IONetworking.kext. If I don't try to load a page I get about 5 mins of uptime prior to KP with same error. If I don't assign a MAC it still does the same thing with the KP. This was done last week sometime. I got fed up with it and bought the apple USB to Ethernet adapter for the air. However I might do some testing of more kexts on the built in adapter when I get back to work on Monday.

Sorry if this has been mentioned in the forum already, but I only pay attention to this thread.
It seems some posts/updates were deleted since the last time I visited. The site perhaps reloaded from a backup? The first post/kext is out of date again. Maybe this is why you thought you uploaded a newer version, but the site was reverted back to a previous state. |

anyway, I just noticed the spec on your sig, are you installing it on leopard? I don't know if it will work on that without a recompilation and modification of Info.plist. |
I can't see anything about BCM in my system.log and even my /var/log directory

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 |

can you also post here the output of ifconfig after the kext is loaded? thanks :) |

I use bcm5706,and thanks for your driver,but IPv6 proxy.
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. |

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 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..
thanks a million again FredWst! :) |

Hello,
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. |

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! |

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. |

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! :) |
work flawlesly with 5754 on Dell optiplex 745

Dear Adlan,
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? |
Thanks!

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
Hi
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 Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1028 Subsystem ID: 0x01da Revision ID: 0x0002 Link Width: x1 BSD name: en1 Kext name: BCM5722D.kext Location: /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext Version: 1 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. |
Thank you , working great on my Dell Optiplex 330(Y)

BCM57781 - 14e4,16b1
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 Any help is much appreciated. Many thanks M |
BCM57781 - 14e4,16b1
after some more testing I now get following:

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. |
