Has anyone got a Broadcom BCM57785 ethernet card working on Catalina?
Up until now I have been using an old IONetworking.kext which had a modified AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext in its plugin folder.
Things got a little more complicated when Mojave came along. Support was dropped for my atheros wifi.
Although putting the old Atheros kext in L/E got it working, that would kill my Ethernet.
The answer was to use old versions of both IO80211 and IONetworking, then both worked happily.
I have tried the same in Catalina but with no success. I can get wifi by putting the Atheros plugin in L/E but cannot get Ethernet.
I'm not entirely convinced they are installing correctly, I have tried in R/W mode and chmod and chown and touched and rebuild caches with no luck.
Anyone else using the same Ethernet with Catalina?
