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.
