[ Closed ] [BUG?] Broadcom 57 Nextreme in Optiplexx 745: yellow exclamation mark

Hi
muiz updated the broadcom driver after 705 release, but that (soon to be released) pack does not have

&REV_02\4&21E4E6E0&0&00E4

this is the one he has updated
http://www.broadcom.com/support/etherne … esktop.php

Ive got the same problem with Dell GX520/620 using this NIC. Worked ok with 7.04 but the new 7.05 pack dosent install the driver. The Adapter has the exclamation mark.

hi
can you provide a link to this DELL driver for this mobile variant?
(this string PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1677&CC [even with no numbers] has no hits at all here)
a moment ago I added this line in two sections of the driver's INF

%BCM5750A1DMOBILE%  =  BCM5750A1DMOBILE.Inst,  PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_1677&SUBSYS_01AD1028&REV_01

YOU can do so as well.
paste this "REV_01" line under the followin lines, and it should work.
%BCM5750A1DMOBILE%  =  BCM5750A1DMOBILE.Inst,  PCI\VEN_14e4&DEV_1677&SUBSYS_01AD1028

then repack with 7zip, and give this a higher version number (7052 would be good)

I'd still like to have a look at DELL's driver.

Have you kept a copy of LAN 7.04?
Remember to keep copies of packs that work..

1. Right, ive tested 7.06 & we have the same problem as 7.05. The driver does not install for the Broadcom NIC.

2. Ive added the line in RED to the ini file in the LAN pack but that didnt work either. Did i add the line correctly jtdoom? it wasnt to clear on the above post.

hmmm
I think the fix will be a third folder, and an undo of the edit I did in 7.06.
I immediately saw a cartload of specific subs, and  looking at the registry entries I thought merging this old Dell with the newest broadcom is not going to be possible.

Another check reveals it will have to be a third folder, because the system file is different as well.
I will have to undo the edit in B\1, and add a B\3

if you need a solution pdq, put official broadcom in B\1 (I changed the INF, and the official has to be used)
put the DELL in B\3
undo your INI edit
then repack, and use your custom lanpack.

Hello,

i know there's a fresh new version of DriverPack Lan (7.06.1) but i wanted to report that the yellow mark has disapeared when I used DriverPack Lan 7062Test

Hardware : HP 6710b, Broadcom NetLink
HWID : PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_1693&SUBSYS_30C0103C&REV_02\4&227633DA&0&00E2

Hope that the final 7.06.1 will act that way ...

I am glad I just found this thread I have been going mad trying to figure out what was going on with 745's not working with latest packs.
I had no problem with 520's or 745's with the packs from a month or so ago

I am getting yellow exclams now on the 745's for graphics and netcard (not tried 520)
Broadcom is 14E4 167A and Intel graphics 8086 2992 - both worked fine before, now dont.

[Incidently I still have to manually apply KB888111 to get the HD audio working- thats using latest RyanVM and Driverpacks from here]

Hi chud
What is the language of your Windows source?

Were you using the latest DriverPacks?
(We should have logs to look at, and I suggest you post them.)

As to what I did, (which is exactly the same as what I have been doing previously without any problems)
Xp2 source > latest RyanVM integration > add all driverpacks & most 3rd party ones with keep full KTD, method2 etc. > .iso image > install in vmware 5.5.3 > autopatcher > manually apply KB888111 > sysprep > deploy to 745 etc.
It (did) work 100% on everything I have tried without addition of anything afterwards on GX150 GX240 GX260 GX270 GX280 GX520 GX745 and various Dell laptops and various Fujitsu Siemens P3 and P4 machines.
745 is my main test machine so that is where I saw error - not tested on anything else.
