Hi righteye,

 

My NIC is BCM57785(pci14e4,16b5) too. I tried to you install your new and previous Kext to 10.8 but all failed.

The system can recognize the card successfully but failed to get the IP by DHCP.

If I bind the IP to the card manually, I can ping it successfully. If I ping the gateway or others IP in the same network, it failed.

The physical line and router are good.

Any thing I can try just let me know.

I did a new BCM5722d.kext. I just a little change the source code. It's only do for x64-systems.

I also fixed the stop after an intence traffic, but I can mistaking. So that/

Let me know if my fix doesn't work(I'll try to correct it)

#define DEVICEID_BCM5722 0x165A
#define DEVICEID_BCM5754 0x167A
#define DEVICEID_BCM5754M 0x1672
#define DEVICEID_BCM5755 0x167B
#define DEVICEID_BCM5755M 0x1673
#define DEVICEID_BCM5787 0x169B
#define DEVICEID_BCM5787M 0x1693
#define DEVICEID_BCM5906 0x1712
#define DEVICEID_BCM5906M 0x1713
#define DEVICEID_BCM57780 0x1692

Put this driver into the IONetworkingFamily->Plugins->.

sorry for the long hiatus, I really don't have much time to maintain it. Now i have a bit time to get back into it.

I'm aware of the problem. However I cannot promise any fix anytime soon as I'll have to dig through the code again after a long time.

I think that the problem is with the Global maximum connection.

The point is that when I use transmission(bittorrent client) with 370 connections. I downloaded easily 6.5Gb. But when I had set up 600 connections, BCM5722D stopped working.

kFlowControlDisabled = 1,
.....
kMediumTypeIndexAuto = 1,
It didn't help
kMaxPacketSize = kIOEthernetMaxPacketSize + 4,
kTxBDCount = 512,
kRxBDCount = 512,
kTxMaxSegmentCount = 384, // 0.75 *ring size(512) = 384
kRxMaxSegmentCount = 1,
kWatchDogTimeout = 5000 // ms
Increasing of these numbers lead to the Kernel panic
Maybe should we increase the global limit of connection.
Maybe should we increase these number. I didn't understand what is that.
enum
{
kAutoNegotiationDelay = 50,
kAutoNegotiationTimeout = 10000
};

Does that part of code correlate with number of connections?

Hi everybody. I have a good news. It seems that problem with stoping during an intense traffic was solved with the help of apianti.

Immense thanks him for it.

http://www.projectos...rt=0#entry29694

Was

DebugLog("%lu -> %u segments, %u free, consumer index: %u",
            mbuf_pkthdr_len(m),
            segmentCount,
            txFreeSlot,
            txLocalConsumerIdx);
status = kIOReturnOutputStall;

became


DebugLog("%lu -> %u segments, %u free, consumer index: %u",
mbuf_pkthdr_len(m),
segmentCount,
txFreeSlot,
txLocalConsumerIdx);

status = kIOReturnOutputDropped;

Change the BCM5722D.ccp.

I ask to check this.

You can download new driver from here as well

The driver is still having the same load issue. I'm working on a hard drive that needed information migrated through the network, namely 97GB on full duplex at 1000baseT, and it cuts out every single time, also interrupts wireless. Once the driver cuts out, I lose all remote access to the Latitude D630 (NVidia). I have it running Lion 10.7.5. All updates applied. Installed this driver in place of the old Adlan one, and that is the result. Any thoughts?

 

It is a problem, because that is the only machine that can do this job that we have, and I have it deployed across the city at my office, which closes its doors at 5p everyday, and its a pain to have to keep driving 40 minutes to reset the machine to reinitialize the driver for limited access.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Try this.

kFlowControlDisabled = 1,
kMediumTypeIndexAuto = 1,

Is your Lion x32 or x64? What type of card do your have exactly?

How work BCM5722d with the last modification(v2.2)

Does it stop during working of torrent-client?

If test1BCM5722d doesn't help, write about the problem here, please.

Hey Alex i have yet to try your version of the drive but i am running into the device not built in issue on my 5752 do you think it would fix it or do you have any pointers to fix it

 

i am on 10.8.2 Dell Precision 690 2 x4 xeon 16GB ram ASUS HD6670

 

have tried kernelflag builtin=yes with deleting files as well as interfaces rebooting and re-adding them

have added efi code into bootloader

neither have seemed to fix the issue will try you version 2.3 on new install partition when i finish making a new installer

Hello. I added your card to the code{ DEVICEID_BCM5752, "BCM5752 NetLink Gigabit Ethernet" },. Are your device id 1600? If so, please try this one that I've attached.

Thanks for writing this driver. It saved me a ton of time. This driver is working on the following system:

 

Dell Precision 390

-OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3

-Core 2 Duo

-Broadcom 5754 NIC

 

I used Kext Wizard to install. Worked immediately after a reboot.

 

Thanks again!
