10.6.X Broadcom NIC driver for BCM5754/M,BCM5755/M,BCM5787/M,BCM5906/M (32/64) i've decided to scratch an itch and develop a driver for my nic(5787m). Although there has been a working driver for the card, it is a hexedited version which i…

“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…”

“I've installed Lion on my optiplex 745. BCM5722 is also working for my BCM 5754. Fred Ps: ATI 4350 is also working without green apple and qe/ci enable. great! I am sorry， I make a mistake.It 's bcm5906.,not BCM5706. :'(:'(:'(:'(:'( ^_^, no…”

“I always need to use IPv6 proxy for connecting to internet. However,I find the driver may has some problem of IPv6 proxy, which is that the connection of IPv6 proxy becomes disconnected sooner or later. I can figure out it is not cause by t…”

“Hi i was having the same trouble with BCM 5754 on dell optiplex 745. 10.6.7 retail install lspci -nn result: 03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5754 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express [14e4:167a] (rev 02) I fixe…”

“Thanks, that's what it shows: ... After that, I checked the system.log file: oos-iMac:Downloads oo$ grep BCM /var/log/system.log May 19 19:56:04 oos-iMac sudo[152]: oo : TTY=ttys000 ; PWD=/Users/oo/Downloads ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/k…”

“I'd tried to use KextHelper to install this kext, but it can not work. I can't see any information about BCM in system.log try loading it using kextutil with high verbosity level and put its output here”

“I just tried to load this kext manually in terminal: bash-3.2# kextload BCM5722D.kext/ /Users/oo/Downloads/BCM5722D.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) authentication failure (file ownership/permissions); check the system/kernel logs for e…”

“I can't see anything about BCM in my system.log and even my /var/log directory 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 err…”

“adlan Source is synced with your latest binary release ? yes, i just updated the kext in the first post with the new build based on the latest commit”

“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 …”

“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 d…”

“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…”

“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 ins…”

“i have a lenovo g530 i installed the kext and got a kernel panic . hi, sorry for the delay can you provide me your - card model - method of os installation (vanilla/distro(hazard,iatkos,etc)”

“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 …”

“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 the small time difference between on and off state is what made me curious. since you didn't have any probl…”

“I didn't wan to say it to early, but now it seems to be fine... Somehow The kext is loaded since about 24 hours and slow-down event didn't occur. At least so far While searching BCM in Console I got more results now. These is all I got sinc…”

“I have device 14e4:167b Broadcomm 5755 onboard nic on an hp xw6600 machine. The kext appears to fail to do anything at all. There is no mention of it in any of the logs in var/log i've tried deleting and reinstalling the kext with both kext…”

“sorry for the delay, sometimes i didn't notice new post on this thread. Hi, sorry it took me so long, I've been very busy recently. Anyway, I placed the kext you gave me in /S/L/E, then chmod and chown it and loaded it with kextload. This i…”

“I've got an Acer Aspire 2920 with broadcom BCM5787M. I tried to add the file in attachment of this post "BCM5722D.kext" in system\library\extesion but after reboot my lan still don't work... . PC: Acer Aspire 2920 ( Intel Core 2 Duo chipset…”

“I have just tested your kext - it makes my BCM5787M work. Moreover in "System Profiler" I can see correct information about the card (while using 10.6.3 modified BCM5701 plugin i got pci14e4,1693 instead of real name despite of DSDT patches…”

“Hi adlan, I have a problem in the 10.6.7, when I put the laptop to sleep for a hour or a little longer the driver can't work, network disconnect. After using Kextload command to unload and reload it work come back. Is it a problem of system…”

“is it possible to make a Driver for BCM4357 rev1 ? I have a Lenovo G560 with this Wlan Card. That would be so great! And if not, what Wlan Card would you recomend me to buy for use in osx? right now, all i can say as is it's not possible. n…”

“Thanks to your code I've fixed a couple of my bugs and I think I've found one in your setMulticastList function. Here, according to 5722-PG101-R.pdf, crc should be calculated for every address in the array, so it would be "addrs + i" or "&a…”

“adlan Superb! Better to have a log with only, my_name_adlan_BCM5722D: Model: BCM5787M NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet my_name_adlan_BCM5722D: Ethernet address 00:11:22:33:44:55 This way, much cleaner. i've uploaded the non-chatty version.”

“OMG i've found this thread and I'm ruined. Because I was writing my own driver for bcm5906m too I started reading 5722-PG101-R.pdf and if_bge.c in January and just today got working rx and tx without checksum offloading support, multicast a…”

“I have a Dell XPS m1330, Hardware Info reports a 5906M network card, but I tried to install your driver without success: I can't see any new interface in System Preferences / Network. In /var/log the only mention I found is in system.log: c…”

“Thanks seem work fine, tested with BCM5787M. Is possible set your driver to display nothing in system log ? In my system log I have: BCM5722D (Build date/time: Feb 11 2011 16:21:32) BCM5722D (setupDriver:920): MSI index on 1 BCM5722D (reset…”

“Can you make it work for also for broadcom bmc57780 ,, pci14e4,1692 sorry, i'm afraid that is not possible for me now. I'll release the source code, so anybody interested can try to work on it if possible.”
