I installed this kexts file but ethernet card does not recognise by MacOS (

Atheros AR8161 is a new model and i think it's completely different by the other Atheros cards

post a kextstat: put in terminal app kextstat > ~/Desktop/kext.txt

you repairPermissions with kextWizard ?


sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext



sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions
exit

reboot, go for System Preferences and add + interface Ethernet, see if this work for you.

[iFIRE]

open app terminal and type sudo -s
passw: your passw

copy paste the code in terminal app

and when you type this

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AtherosL1cEthernet.kext you have message output?

i restart my sustem and run this command again
there is no error
but ethernet does not recognize (I think kext file has problem and it's not for as8161)

[AshkanAzad]

OK, test this kext, I Edit this kext with your device id, see if work, instal with Kextwizard and repairPermisions/ reboot
