claudiuh Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Hello? Where can i find a working kext for 57785 that works with 10.9.2? I found this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/192-broadcom-bcm57781-1092-13c44/ There is a comment there saying it works with 57785 after adding string 16b5. I tried doing that but i am new to this and i do not know if i've done it right. Can someone help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy46 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I'm currently running Mavericks on my Dell XPS Studio 8100 Desktop PC. This driver works fine until I put the PC to sleep, upon wake en1 disconnects and I can only seem to get it back on a reboot. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to fix the problem? Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjudas Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm currently running Mavericks on my Dell XPS Studio 8100 Desktop PC. This driver works fine until I put the PC to sleep, upon wake en1 disconnects and I can only seem to get it back on a reboot. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to fix the problem? Please help. Yes, you can solve it with SleepWatcher 2.2 and editing rc.sleep and rc.wake scripts like this: rc.sleep: sudo ifconfig en1 down sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BCM5722D.kext rc.wake: sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/BCM5722D.kext sudo ifconfig en1 up I get sleep working in this way. Good hack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerboy46 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks for the info. It took quite a bit of fiddling about to get working, namely due to the fact the docs don't mention you need to "touch" the rc files, which marks them as executable. Once i'd done this all was good. http://tyhoffman.com/blog/2013/09/sleepwatcher-power-event-driven-automation/ So now I have a complete Mavericks installation running off the internal drive, it also dual boots to Windows 8.1 update via the Chimera bootloader. It's about as unhacked as a hackmac can be, so i'll be able to run system updates with little worry. CPU: i7 2.9Ghz - working Sound: HDA Audio - all ports working GFX: AMD HD 5000 - working Ethernet (en1): BCM5581 - working with sleepwatcher 80211: working Intel RAID: striping removed, defaults to AHCI. GPT Partitioned Drive 0 for OSX. MBR partitioned Drive 1 for WIndows 8.1. Sleep/Reboot/Shutdown - no issues. Firewire/USB/eSATA/Card reader - no issues. Very happy! M.

themacmeister Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I am going to test this now on my HP XW6600 Workstation (2 x Quad Xeons) with 14e4,167b (5755 NetXtreme). Results shortly. PS. I need to roll back IOPCIFamily I think, to get SiliconImage3114 4port SATA PCI card working. My ASM1061 SATA 3.0 card works (and boots) fine, but I have no optical drive from only 2 ports :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themacmeister Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Working nicely on my XW6600 Workstation (HP). Does not work after sleep/wake, but the kext can be unloaded, reloaded manually. PS. Sleep works perfectly on this machine with stock 10.9.2 and no DSDT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namvan Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The kext works perfectly for me on for Mavericks 10.9.3 on Aspire 4740G CORE i3 with BroadCom 57780. My best wishes to the owner of this topic. Many thanks. 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(if_bge) 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 # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rani21 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks for the BCM5787_on.zip Applescript. It has finally got my Ethernet working on my HP 6710b with onboard BCM5787M :) The Wifi with a BCM4321 card is working too. I used iAtkos S3 V2 to install Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on the laptop ( Thanks too iAtkos)! If the WiFi Quick Launch button is stuck off, go into BIOS and enable LAN/WLAN switching, reboot, then restart and re-enter BIOS and select Default Settings; this gets the little blue WiFi light back on after the next boot (Thanks Albatros Krasniqi on YouTube). I've got Leo 10.5.8 and Windows 7 Pro 64bit working on two other partitions. PS By installing the BCM5722D.kext with my Snow Leopard 10.6.3 I don't need to use tcpdump for the connection. Great!

darkvoid Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Alex, Would you be able to test a new approach to activate the BCM57780 (and many other cards) on OS X? I posted the details here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/292117-broadcom-bcm57781-how-do-i-patch-the-kext-for-ml-1085/page-4?do=findComment&comment=2108018 I believe using the original Apple driver (without patching required in this case) could give you better performance and stability. With your test results I would be able to take this forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jief_Machak Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Hi, I use BCM5722D v2.3.5 on Yosemite with a Dell M4300. I have the issue that BCM5722D doesn't work anymore after sleep if it's connected to gigabit ethernet switch. Ok with 100Mb ethernet switch. Does anyone know if this issue was resolved ? Thanks. Jief I forgot to say : I forced the speed to 100Mb with "sudo networksetup -setMedia en2 100baseTX full-duplex" (doesn't work through system preferences, even on my real mac !). Then it's ok after sleep, even connected to a gigabit ethernet switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingdini Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have a dell t5400 with the Broadcom BCM5754 running El Capitan. I've loaded the BCM5722D driver several times but the computer has been loosing the network connection after loading OS X. I have a MAC address, but the driver seems to not be aware of the cable. The strange thing is that the BIOS is aware of the connection until OS X takes control (or at least that's what seems to be happening). Do you have any ideas as to the reason why?

Jief_Machak Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi, I've corrected the bug I was talking about Feb the 3rd. here it is : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/549-bcm5722d/ @dingdini : Have you tried to remove these 2 files : sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist and reboot ?

sebus Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 [sOLVED - but not working after wakeup] Any solution for Integrated Broadcom® 5754 Gigabit Ethernet controller on Precision T5500 (14e4:1681), same issue as dingdini above also on EC? The card does not seems to sense the cable attached (hence no IP from DHCP, manual does not work either) EDIT Followed this, installed the driver to /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ fixed permissions, rebuild prelikedkernel NO IP from DHCP, but manual IP works fine, so happy after all. Sadly onboard network does NOT work after sleep wakeup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZombiRon Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I've made a small patch to this to fix the sleep/wake issue. It's working for me under 10.12, on a Dell Precision T5400. binary kext available here The change to the source is as follows... in BCM5722D.cpp in the function IOReturn BCM5722D::enable(IONetworkInterface *iface) - selectMedium(getSelectedMedium()); + serviceLinkInterrupt(); Any good programmer will be able to work out what that means, if you need more direction; then you shouldn't be attempting to compile kernel extensions until you have more programming experience. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jief_Machak Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hi ZombiRon, did you modify source v2.3.6 ? If yes, maybe a 2.3.7 version could be done ? Jief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0ke Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Hi ZombiRon, did you modify source v2.3.6 ? If yes, maybe a 2.3.7 version could be done ? Jief Hi, I was using v2.3.6 but keeps freezing under heavy load (eg moving big files to shared folders into gigabit intranet) and then disconnecting until ethernet card service switch off and back on. Manually switching to 100baseTX speed appears to solve this issue, however it works slower. Then I tried the ZombiRon's kext that appears to be back to the 1.0 version and it seems to work at 1000baseT speed too. I just had to put "pci14e4,1680" string into info.plist for the card to be seen. It is working very well for my Dell Precision M6400 and I'll use this version from now on. I'll report any further info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddkt Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I've made v2.3.6 small changes for BCM5718 1. for multi port(setting portGphy in MII read/write from PCIfunction no) 2. setting MaxFrameSize of RCB of Rcv Std Producer Ring only above changes It goes good, except File receive of AFP send is OK NFS or SMB is OK on 10.9.5 Does someone have same result ?
