actually there has been a report on the same behavior as this. i'm still investigating what causes this problem and most likely come to a dead end. btw, do you have a vanilla or distro install? |
I didn't wan to say it to early, but now it seems to be fine... Somehow :P
The kext is loaded since about 24 hours and slow-down event didn't occur. At least so far :D While searching BCM in Console I got more results now. These is all I got since I have loaded the kext. 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/ |

.. anyway, thank you for testing :) |
I think these power state changes are here because I used sleep a few times. So no need to worry, also your kext doesn't break sleep ;)

I've been using your kext for my Lenovo S10 (with a BCM5906). So far, it's been working great!
On your "not implemented" list you have: BCM5906/M - Isochronous Send Ring I was wondering what that actually means for us BCM56906 users? Do we lose any common feature/functionality? Also, I get 6MB/sec when transferring data from the ethernet connection. What do other people get? |

since you didn't have any problems with it, i'll just ignore the curiosity :D |

the isochronous send ring is just a performance enhancement on the transmit side, it's great for data streaming. I don't remember stumbling upon that feature implementation while reading tg3(linux) and if_bge(*bsd) source code though (maybe I missed it, but I'm quite sure about it). I don't know how much other people got since nobody put it up and I didn't ask for it either. Although I did do some benchmarking using tools like netperf and iperf. Generally I can say its performance is on par with the available driver with only slight difference. If you want the result, I can post it later as I need to dive deep into the disk looking for it :D. |
i have a lenovo g530
i installed the kext and got a kernel panic . :( |

can you provide me your - card model - method of os installation (vanilla/distro(hazard,iatkos,etc) |
BCM 57778 support
Your kext works flawlessly (So Far)
I just add the HID for the BCM 57778 (1691) and off to the races. Throughput so far seems good. If I were you, just add the same to your distro and will include this card. Oh yes, this is a DVD Retail install of OSX Server 10.6 with Combo Update 10.6.7 |
