JDubU Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 D630 NVidia Mountain Lion 10.8.3 I have always had the problem with wired Ethernet consistently being disconnected after waking up from sleep. It would only come back after reboot. I know that others have also reported this. Windows 7 installed on the same D630 (by replacing the boot drive) never has this problem. Today I discovered that if, instead of connecting to my local network (D630 --> Ethernet switch --> Zyxel router --> DSL modem), I connect the D630 directly to the DSL modem, the problem goes away. The wired Ethernet connectivity consistently returns on wake up from sleep! I will have to do some more experimentation to see if can isolate this further...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted May 19, 2013 Administrators Share Posted May 19, 2013 do you have a BT module? try with it disabled if you do. you also have to consider this is not a real mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDubU Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 After a series of test setups, the problem only occurs when the wired Ethernet adapter of the D630 is connected to a Gigabit switch. When connected to a 100Mb switch, the wired Ethernet adapter reconnects reliably after waking from sleep. I tested this with three different Gigabit switches and three different 100Mb switches. Can anyone confirm these test results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDubU Posted May 19, 2013 Author Share Posted May 19, 2013 Bronxteck: I do have a BT module that, as a test, disabled in the BIOS and confirmed that it was not seen by OSX. It did not change the wake-after-sleep behavior of the Ethernet adapter. I'm not complaining about this at all. I just could not figure out why some people with exactly the same hardware, BIOS settings, OS, etc. were not seeing the same behavior. I assume that it is an issue with the hacked BCM5722D.kext Ethernet driver and wanted to pin down a way to reproduce the behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jief Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hi, I've fixed that wakeup bug (I think). I made a version 2.3.6. Only tested on a D630 and a Precison M4300. See https://github.com/jief666/BCM5722D/tree/GigaBug for sources and https://bitbucket.org/Jief666/bcm5722d/downloads for binary. I attached binary 64 bits. Cheers. BCM5722D-v2.3.6(Jief).kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted April 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted April 7, 2016 Ace! Thanks a lot for that contribution. Will try and test asap to verify behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndog Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I had some issue with the same BCM5722D.kext. Dell E5420, A05 SandyBridge i5 2520MOSX 10.11.5 The Internet worked fine until I pushed a lot of traffic by transferring something big (1GB+) and then network stoped working completely. After a reboot it is working again, but if I push fast files over gigabit it will ineviatably crash over 1GB+. After applying this kext to my clover I just pushed over 10GB without any issues, so I think this is a fix for me too. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
