V5-171 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have recently installed Mojave in my Acer V5-171 laptop. I have got everything working except my Ethernet. My Ethernet is a Broadcom BCM57785. Up until now it has always worked with an old kext (AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext) in the plugin folder of IONetworkingFamily.kext. If I put my old AppleBCM kext in the plugin folder of the Mojave IONetworking kext then Ethernet shows up in the networking prefpane but says the cable is unplugged even when it's connected. if I put in my old complete IONetworkingFamily.kext then Ethernet works properly but disables WiFi. Could anyone take a look at my kexts and somehow cobble together something that will work for me? Mike. Networking.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I try adding the applebcm kext to the IONetworking I get a lot of dependency errors between the two when I try to rebuild the cache. It obviously needs more than just the id adding into the info.plist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have added this id to my config. <string>pci14e4,16b5</string> I think that's right.

Moderators Jake Lo Posted October 12, 2018 Moderators Share Posted October 12, 2018 Try FakePCIID.kext + FakePCIID_BCM57XX_as_BCM57765.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
