[/url]when i first install leopard 10.5.1 all works fine (i dont add any drivers) but i must reinstall and when i do it ethernet dont work in Network config its give me "cable is not connected" what a {***ed}? I reinstall it again and again and its work only when i install it first time please help
I had dell vostro 1500 with broadcom4401, it works under 10.5.1, and stop functioning after upgraded to 10.5.2. I had exact error msg as yours. anyone has commets on this?!
AppleBCM440Ethernet.kext is removed from /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkFamily.kext in 10.5.2.
So basically the driver is missing.
If you use the original kext from 10.5.1, the network connection drops after a few minutes or under high CPU utilization (until you refresh new DHCP info).
I have a AppleBCM440XEthernet.kext which, when applied, seems to keep OS X from booting (mDNSResponder loop).
Anyone have the latest working stable driver for 10.5.2?
