hi, can you try this kext http://cl.ly/3e3l2N2t1n242a3O0T0I

and send me the log?

[gamble]

Hi, I try this one, but nothing happened. After boot os, I can't find out any info about BCM5722 in /var/log/kernel.log and system.log. Also I use command 'kextstat' and can't find the BCM5722 in loaded kexts. When I manually load this kext( 'kextutil'), this kext can be loaded successfully, but also nothing happened on my BCM5787.

i see, you should find the log message in /var/log/kernel.log where did you install the kext?

try loading the kext manually and after the kext is loaded, can you send me

1. the output of ifconfig -a
2. the log message, take the line starting with "BCM5722D"

Hi, I put the kext at /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext Below is the shell command log:(en1 is my another netware card, it's worked)

bash-3.2# kextstat | grep 'BCM'

bash-3.2# kextutil /System/Library/Extensions/BCM5722D.kext

bash-3.2# kextstat | grep 'BCM'

that's weird. it should at least, shows a build date/time message.

normally kextd will automatically load the kext if it found the matching pci id for the hardware on system startup, but in your case, the kext isn't loaded at all.

• do you have any other kext for the same hardware in S/L/E ?
• do you have other os installed on that machine?, did the card works there?

[gamble]

ok, I will check. Because I install a cracked mac os (hazard 10.6.6), not the pure 10.6.6, so maybe there are some kexts about BCM57\ in the S/L/E. Thank you for help, I will send you the result ASAP.

ps: The card can work in Windows. I had installed a BCM5787M.kext by my hex modified for new device ID(169b), and something happened, and I can setup the en0, but it can't work correctly.

i've downloaded the broadcom kext provided in the distro site to check if any of the kext defines your card pci id and I couldn't find any. so, theoretically BCM5722D.kext should be loaded automatically on system startup. what puzzled me more is there isn't any logged message although the kext has been loaded successfully.

have you tried removing BCM5722D.kext and reinstalling it?

i have the same problem.not working for my dell 330,SL10.6.7. It seems that it hasnot been loaded.

[gamble]
