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

hi, sorry for the delay, been away on holiday

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

I assume you've tried adding 14E4,165A to the IONameMatch array in Info.plist.

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).

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 The first post/kext is out of date again.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.

yeah, just noticed that. some of the post is missing and the front page has the old content although I've updated it recently.

actually I have no idea about your problem, sorry. Did you try the latest kext I sent?

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
