Gigabit Speeds
 
Is there any progress on getting this Kext to operate at gigabit speeds... the best I can get is 100baseTX.

It was my cable... the driver works fine at gigabit.

THANKS!

----ing great.
 
Before I say something to you,
did someone say that you are damn good developer who
developer these drivers.. If no one haven't done that then I would
love to say that you ARE ----IING good.... Please excuse my language.

This damn thing took me 4 days to find these drivers and after doing
what you have said in this thread, it worked like a CHARM.....

I do appreciate from the bottom of my heart that you developed and shared
this with other users. I mean it.

Though I am also a software developer and mostly develop applications
in Microsoft technologies i.e. .Net etc and was keen to start
some software development for iPhone, I just couldn't get the drivers of this damn
LAN.

You are a saviour, once again thank you very much for developing and
sharing this with us...... THanks.

Thanks adlan for the great driver.
I get stuck with Broadcom BCM5786 [14e4:169a]
I am not sure what should be edited in your source code, could you please show me how to do it ?
Thank.

Updated:
Luckily, I added [14e4:169a] definition to plist, recompile and install IONetworkingFamily.kext of my friend, and now everything works like charm.

Just want to say thank, adlan, love you!!!!

Your driver work for my Ethernet card, the Broadcom 5752, which on the old guy DELL 490 with some minor fix.

I did 2 minor fix on your kext to support Broadcom 5752:

1. infor.plist. I replace <string>pci14e4,167A</string> with <string>pci14e4,1600</string>
2. BCM5722D. I hex this file, looking for "7A 16" then replace all with "00 16". (flip word anyway).

Finally, I put them inside IONetworking kext which replace the original one. Reinstall this kext. Re-build cache. Re boot. Viola!!!

No kernal panic, MAC address just there, DHCP ok, even though I haven't plug in network yet.


Which OS I run huh? iAtKos L2 (Lion 10.7.2).

Thank you so much, adlan.

Thanks a lot for you work on making this driver.

I need a working Kext for the desktop version of this network card: Broadcom BCM5784. (Without the M)
Is there any way to modify this kext for it to work on the non-M version?
I'm on OSX 10.6.8. (AMD)

Modifying the .plist is your best bet :)

I have a Broadcom Nextreme Gigabit network controller and i tried putting in the BCM5722D.kext using Kextdrop but the internet will not work. I look under the Network setting and none appear. Any suggestions. Thanks for your help. Any more information needed let me know.
