Hello,

I've installed Lion on my optiplex 745.

BCM5722 is also working for my BCM 5754.

Ps: ATI 4350 is also working without green apple and qe/ci enable.

Hi Adlan... thanks for your work on this, I've been suffering with hex-editing the original 5701 kext trying to get my card working (device ID 1681). I thought on the off-chance I'd try your kext and with an Info.plist addition it picked it up straight away - really impressed!

I just have to sort out the blank MAC address and give it some proper testing.

Oddly, on reboot with a link the MAC address is identified but the speed isn't negotiated properly... on first attempt to do anything with the interface/driver it drops the connection permanently, preventing reconfiguration; only resuming use after another reboot. Any ideas Adlan please?

sorry for the lateness, been quite busy for the last few days.

anyway I checked the linux and *bsd driver, it seems that, there are some fixes/additional initialization steps/different register value for that model. maybe it has something to do with that, I'll try to include those changes and send you the kext to test this weekend.

thank you for testing! :)

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?


Try this one, it works for my HP xw4400 works with the onboard broadcom 167b. I've tried it with 10.6.2 - 10.6.7

Dear Adlan,

Thanks for your driver. Able to install and detect BCM5787 but DHCP wasn't able to grab a valid IP keep geting 169.x.x.x. Even static IP i was not able to connect to Internet.

Any idea what went wrong?
