hkfan 0 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The Dortania OC guide appears to suggest only changes to device-id is required, but in practice, it seems nobody can get this ethernet controller to work without using two fakepciid kexts. Anyone make contact w/ the OC team re: this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T33Z0 126 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) From my understanding, it runs pretty natively, in the sense that FakePCIID just changes the ID of the Ethernet Card so macOS recognizes it as compatible and then attaches it to it's own drivers. Can't get more "native" than that, imo.. Most other LAN cards require kexts: like Intelmausi, Atheros, Smalltree, etc. Edited March 28 by 5T33Z0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was just confused why the Dortania guide makes it seem like the fakepciid kext isn't needed since you are doing something very similar within OC by changing the ID of the card.

Slice 6,946 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 For better understanding I may show a stupid example: If you provide ID for your LAN card and this ID will be SATA then your card will not work as SATA device. FakeID have a sense only for very similar devices from one vendor and one family and one series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
