gaieges Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hi there, I've been struggling for a while now with getting my Asus z270g motherboard's onboard lan to work with Sierra. I've been able to get most of the other components working thanks to the generous efforts of this forum, but this last problem has been causing me quite the level of stress! The z270g apparently has a i219-v chip, however it appears to be a bit different than the device's supported by IntelMausiEthernet (Which I've heard works very well with that chipset). It's using deviceID 8086:15d6 After looking through the source of the driver it appears that the particular device id isnt being searched for: 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (5) I219-V [8086:15d6] Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Ethernet Connection (5) I219-V [1043:8672] Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 123 Memory at df100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e Here's what I've tried so far: With IntelMausiEthernet kext: Installed driver in /S/L/E and /L/E in addition to the Clover bootloader kext directory. By itself, none of these caused kextstat to load the driver automatically (Aside from the clover directory) Spoofing the Lan ID to something that the driver did support (ie one of the ones that was also using the i219v chipset), caused the driver to load (via kextstat), but no devices in system information or the network pref panel Followed a number of steps in the troubleshooting steps that Mieze listed with the same result (driver loaded but no devices) Didn't see any useful logging info in the debug info steps but happy to get that info if it would help With AppleIntelE1000e kext (from insanely mac)Very similar results to above With AppleIGB kextNo luck across the board (although I haven't tried spoofing the id with this drive) Happy to provide more information that would be relevant to the situation but not sure exactly what would help. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaieges Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Bumping this up a bit for visibility. Not even sure what next steps to take on this, if anyone has any insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
