sayagain Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 Bad news indeed. Ok, I've decided I will use the X31 for this instead, which has Intel_VE-100-Nic (native support) once I get the crashes out (0x001 / KERN_INVALID*...), I'll also buy a usb-wifi as both X's wireless don't work..

sudden falter Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I have changed the device ID in the array to match my card ID and vendor ID with TextEdit. When I restart the machine I get the error: System extension cannot be used. The system extension "/System/Library/Extensions/com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext" was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product's vendor for an update. Could someone please help. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I restart the machine I get the error:Could someone please help. Thank you. Yes, it cannot load it because you did not set the permissions. So do: terminal >sudo -s (login) >chown -R root:wheel /path_to_kext_here/add_name_of_kext_here.kext >chmod -R 755 /path_to_kext_here/add_name_of_kext_here.kext >kextcache -k /system/library/extensions >reboot after that: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigxcpu Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 btw, I have some problems with the broadcom5701 drivers. sometimes (it always happens when uploading at full speed on a SMB share) it just hangs. no ping, nothing. i do a kextunload and a kextload again of the BCM57xx driver and it works successfully. maybe this will help somebody. hardware is HP NC8000 notebook.

sudden falter Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I had the same issue and all I had to do was follow these original instructions from tinhead: sudo -scd / cd /System/Library/Extensions/ ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions and reboot. Could someone please help me with the hexedit instruction, I am new to OSX and don't understand tinhead's original instructions to : Patching with Hexeditor : -Expample, device id 169c ( bcm 5788 ) -patch on hex 37336 from "66 81 FA 59 16" to "66 81 FA 9C 16".
