creed205 Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hi Guys, I have a 10.6.6 install on my D620 with Intel graphics. Everything is working from what I can see except for the wired LAN connection. I am able to use wireless but I like to have backup with the wired when needed. I tried a couple of IONetworkingFamily.kexts and an AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext but when using that IONetworking... it caused the wireless to stop working. Is there a way to get the LAN working? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed205 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 FYI Guys - I tried this: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=98967 Still no luck. I also wanted to note that that it's not even being detected in the network panel of the system preferences. I will keep plugging but please don't hesitate to share any tips Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the attached file and installed it with Kext-Helper and it works on my D620 under 10.6.6. Hopefully it will keep working as I upgrade. Can you try this and let me know if it works? I would like to have it included in the future updates if it's solid. AppleBCM5751Ethernet.kext.zipFetching info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed205 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Hey Guys, I see we have 4 downloads. Did we have any luck with my driver? Just to let you know, my Broadcom device ID is 14e4:1600. If yours is not the same it might not work. My question is, are all the D620s the same? Thanks for trying guys.

I tried it in my E/E and it wouldn't work. I had to use the KEXT Helper (which of course puts it in System/Library/Extentions) and it worked there. What is the difference between the 2 really? I thought that it should work in either location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
