Hi Thank you for this great work!! You saved my day!!!!

I am running a n680i mobo with NIC BRCM5754 (Dell XPS 720) and the kext is running perfectly with 10.6.4 and then with 10.6.8 combo update!!!! Hello, I followed verdant's guide to prepare my sl10.6.8 running in the 32 bits mode to run in the 64 one. My system is now 64 bit enabled, but it canno't connect to internet anymore!!!

I check: - the kext is loaded - I repaired the permissions with kext wizard The card is detected, the mac address is correctly reported, but the dot stays on yellow. In verbose mode, i have an error message telling me that the link canno't me maintained. I will report here the full message from the logs. If i understand correctly kext wizard, the kext is 64 bits capable. Missing dependences? I changed my bootloader from bootSL123sata for a custom cd made with bootcdmaker based on Chameleon RC5 and installing the kexts recommanded by verdant to run lion on nforce mobos. Hello guys, just wanted to tell you that the driver is working also with a BCM5761e (Del M6400 Covet) by adding the pci id 14e4:1680 to the Info.plist Working in Lion, haven't tested rellay big transfers (10GB at the moment), willl try to overload the nic and see what happens Thanks and Regards Mattia In addition to Mattia.

I am in the same position however as he has mentioned to me in another thread, the network cable has to be connected on startup. When it boots you see the mac address applied and shows in the network config page and works. If it's not connected and you boot it loads with all zeros and won't get DHCP. If I do 'sudo ifconfig en0 ether ' it then works but still shows zeros in the mac address in the network config. Either situation the card is detected just with a network cable connected on boot it's automatic without a cable plugged in you have to manually set the mac address to get it working.

Had a driver or actually multiple drivers in Snow Leopard that always set it right. Hello, I followed verdant's guide to prepare my sl10.6.8 running in the 32 bits mode to run in the 64 one.

Missing dependences? Tad is out for mac free. I changed my bootloader from bootSL123sata for a custom cd made with bootcdmaker based on Chameleon RC5 and installing the kexts recommanded by verdant to run lion on nforce mobos. I followed Verdant's advice: I removed my pci wifi card, and my pci Audigy card. Connection was back with my NIC card. Next step: Lion install!!!!

Hi, 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 thought is not a permanent solution.

This driver is implemented based on the BCM5722 Programmer's Guide provided in Broadcom's open source developer resource. Additional information is gleaned from Linux(tg3) and FreeBSD(ifbge) driver.

Since the manual covers more than one model, i decided to include support for some of the models documented. It should support the following models:. BCM5722. BCM5754. BCM5754M.

BCM5755. BCM5755M. BCM5787. BCM5787M #.

BCM5906 #. BCM5906M # # - tested Features not implemented as of this release:. Wake-on-LAN Installation Install to /System/Library/Extensions. manually copy the kext to /S/L/E and repair permissions or. use Issues Please report any issues you found at Contributing Source code is available at. See project's wiki for details Credit.

Broadcom Netxtreme Bcm5755m Drivers For Mac

I got a surplus PC a little while ago and when I installed Ubuntu, there was no wireless ability (big surprise). I have zero clue what I can do about this, however; Googling doesn't bring up very many helpful guides.

Again, I'm really at a loss for what to do. If there's anyone who has experience with this device, what was your solution?You can get a native supported card for use in or on your PC here: Be prepared for the $15 shipping charge. I am awaiting an answer on what is good from Amazon.

There are other threads on supported hardware, but you never know if you are getting the right chipset in your model. Running unsupported wifi cards requires some driver searching and installation or some windows wrapper work, which others say is not so supported. You can use a pci card with antenna on the back for better range in a huuuge house, but the two usb options should work fine.

Look at the router you are using, google the model number, and find out if it is G, N, or AC. G is old, N is still functional but probably needs updated firmware, and AC is current/future and not so supported on many mid-age devices.

If your router is type N, order that thumbnail size usb wifi card in the penguin link above and be done with the hassle.
