ASUS XG-C100F SFP+ AQC 107 Patch for Sonoma

[Joso]

Hi @all

for the ASUS XG-C100F 10GbE card, the patch from @Mieze

(Find 81F9B107 0000 Replace 81F9B100 0000 com.apple.driver.AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion)

was still necessary in Ventura, even if the ForceAquantia Quirk was enabled, DMAR dropped and replaced by modified one and DisableIOMapper disabled. Now this patch hasn‘t been updated for Sonoma so far. So I ask for it here. Perhaps @Shikumo can help, too. Thanks in advance.

 

@surenmunoo I’ve the same problem with i226-v not working after applying the OCLP patches. I found out that it is the injected IOSkywalkFamily.kext, that‘s causing it. The i225-v of another board is affected, too.

Thanks for letting me know. I booted with a different EFI into Sonoma and still no 2.5G ethernet but the Aquantia works, hopefully the OCLP team adds a fix to this.

@surenmunoo with this kext https://github.com/SongXiaoXi/AppleIGC and the bootarg e1000=0 you can make your i226-v work again even if it is not really satisfying, because it would work without the injected ioskyfamily.kext. The aqc113 and most aqc107 onboard chips are no problem, but ASUS aqc107 sfp+ pcie is very special in regard of hackintoshing and it needs the patch I mentioned in addition to applevtd and the forceaquantia quirk.

I226-V all working again, thanks mate

You are indeed right. The injection of the IOSkywalkFamily.kext breaks Sonoma's native support of the Intel I225-V and the I226-V, because Sonoma's com.apple.DriverKit-AppleEthernetE1000.dext does not work with the injected version of the IOSkywalkFamily.kext. Regarding your problem with the ASUS XG-C100F 10 GbE PCIe card, you are also correct. The kernel patch you mentioned does not work with Sonoma's AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion.kext anymore and has to be adapted.

 

The temporary solution is to block (exclude) com.apple.driver.AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion and inject the AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion.kext from the KDK of Ventura 13.5 (attached) which makes the patch work again. Prerequisite is of course the correct compatible string in the device properties or a SSDT.
