For the warning message, you can just ignore it as there are some conversion which requires a 64bit value to be broken into 2 32bit value to fit it into the hardware registers. |

Hi adlan,
I have just tested your kext - it makes my BCM5787M work. Moreover in "System Profiler" I can see correct information about the card (while using 10.6.3 modified BCM5701 plugin i got pci14e4,1693 instead of real name despite of DSDT patches I added). But there's one problem - after loading the kext my system slowed down a lot. I barely managed to type sudo kextunload BCM5722D.kext in terminal. I didn't got such effects after loading hexedited plugin. About 5 minutes later I used kextload command and got slow down again - but the negative effect was much lighter, I'd say about one tenth of first one. Maybe it might have something to do with code optimizations? I really dunno. I keep my fingers crossed for this project - who knows, how long 10.6.3 kext is going to work? It may get broken in Lion or even next update. Regards, Astarael PS Sorry for my English, still learning ;) |

can you try this kext, http://cl.ly/3e3l2N2t1n242a3O0T0I and send me the log? take the line starting with BCM5722D PS no problem, me too :) |
Hi guys I've got an Acer Aspire 2920 with broadcom BCM5787M.
I tried to add the file in attachment of this post "BCM5722D.kext" in system\library\extesion but after reboot my lan still don't work... :(. PC: Acer Aspire 2920 ( Intel Core 2 Duo chipset: intel 965) Mac Os X: 10.6.6i By hazard p.s.: I have also tried to install max os x 10.6.2 but the result is the same with this kext my lan don't working.... in mac manager as Ethernet Cards don't result anything. p.p.s. after added the kext file in library directory displays a message : System extesion cannot be used The system extension " /System/library ........." was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it.... what's my problem? thank u guys greetings from Italy |

usually that error message pops up when kext doesn't have the proper permission. To fix this, you need to change the kext permission either run disk utility then repair permission or in terminal, Code:
cd /System/Library/Extensions |

Anyway, I placed the kext you gave me in /S/L/E, then chmod and chown it and loaded it with kextload. This is what I got in system Console: Code:
11-04-18 18:13:12 sudo[255] astarael : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/astarael ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/kextload /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext/ PS I wouldn't advise using KextHelper in Snow Leopard - it doesn't work well. You might want to test KextWizard instead (I won't post a link 'cos I'm not sure if it is permitted :P) |
I 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 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? |
After you start your system, try to type in the terminal kextstat | grep BCM and see if there are any results. If not - kext in fact is not being loaded at all...
Did you trierd to force it with kextload command? |
sorry for the delay, sometimes i didn't notice new post on this thread.

is that the only message logged for the kext? and after that your system starts slowing down? PS, yeah, kexthelper freeze on exit that it requires force quitting, though i didn't bother looking for another since the app still does what it should do :D. Anyway thank you for the advice, I'll try the app you mentioned and update the first post. |
