Source is synced with your latest binary release ?

If 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?

/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).

you need to change the kext ownership/permissions , else kextd will not load the kext.

Code:

sudo chown -R root:wheel BCM5722D.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 BCM5722D.kext

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

Quote:

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

So now I change the permission of the kext file:

Code:

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:

Code:

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

/var/log/system.log:May 18 15:35:29 oos-iMac sudo[155]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown -R root:wheel BCM5722D.kext

/var/log/system.log:May 18 15:35:40 oos-iMac sudo[156]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/chmod -R 755 BCM5722D.kext

/var/log/system.log:May 18 15:35:49 oos-iMac sudo[157]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/kextload BCM5722D.kext

oos-iMac:Downloads oo$

Thank you all the same:)

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

try loading it using kextutil with high verbosity level and put its output here

Code:

sudo kextutil -v 4 BCM5722D.kext

It seems to be success, but I still can't connect to internet.

you searched in the wrong file, the log entry will be in kernel.log
can you also post here the output of ifconfig after the kext is loaded?

thanks :)
