Hi,

 

I tried several things: 1) Removing the BCM4401 kext from extra/extensions, running edptool and update and reboot (turn off really). The reinstall BCM4401 kext and update and reboot. Result No change.

 

2) added the kernel flag as suggested Ddd max_valid_dma_addr=1024. That produced no change either.

 

It senses the presence of a ethernet connect, but will not connect.

Yeah I had looked at thAt stuff

 

So it works for 10.6.7?

 

I still think this is a Mac issue and not a driver issue.

 

Maybe I'll try a second install.

Keep me posted. Its still working for me lol.

 

LAN is going strong. Its been connected and on my network for days, doing some massive Linux DLs.

I got the same problem, lan is not working on my D520, i have installed retail snow leopard 10.6.3 with success, only the LAN was not working, so i used edp 1.8 for all LAN and other stuff.

Every things works, only the networking connection is still the problem, i don't gets the right IP with DHCP, manual works, but no internet connection.

I have done the advised max=1024 limit, but is still not working.

Do you guy's have still any ideas?

So I have been doing some experimenting...

 

1) Installed another partition of OSX 10.6 no updates.

1A)Without running EDP - No LAN.

1B) Running EDP 1.8 - No LAN.

1C) Kernel flag maxmem=1024 - No LAN

1D) kernel flag max_valid_dma_addr=1024 - No LAN

1E) Downgraded bios to A05 - No LAN in either 10.6.0 or 10.6.7.

 

The thing knows it has a connection, but WILL not get an IP. Even manually setting up an IP and having the router have a static route, it will not communicate. Works fine in Win 7 or Ubuntu.

 

I feel like there is some obvious thing that I have not thought of and I am missing. This is getting me angry.
