Intel I211-AT Alternative to SmallTree

[Shaneee]

Thanks to @Aluveitie for suggesting an older kext AppleIGB for I211-AT on Monterey as SmallTree is currently broken.

It's currently working for me on my ASUS X570-F board but isn't working for at least one TRX40 board. Please test on your machine and report if it works or not and include your device and subsystem IDs. I've messaged who I think is the original author of the kext to see if we can get the source for it.

Working:

• DeviceID: 0x1539
• Subsystem ID: 0x85f0
• Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1043

 

[AudioGod]

Working fine on a ASUS X570-E using Monterey

• DeviceID: 0x1539
• Subsystem ID: 0x85f0
• Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1043

Connected. But no internet.

DeviceID: 0x1539
Subsystem ID: 0xe000
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1458

DeviceID: 0x1539

Interesting. What motherboard? Only difference is the subsystem IDs from the look of it.

Aorus X570i PRO WIFI

I'm wondering if faking the subsystem IDs to match what AudioGod and I have would allow it to work. You can use device properties and set the subsystem-id to f0850000 and the subsystem-vendor-id to 43100000

No luck. Same result.

How do I change my friend ???
or with what tool. this is the original I have now

Just copy and paste to your device properties

Can you try this version please.

 

[baronerosso]

Can you try this version please.

It works 1 minute and ... stop, but no kernel panic.

I found this kext on https://www.macos86.it , if anyone would test it. Works on BigSure as the "original" SmallTree and on some motherboard AMD with Monterey, but doesn't work on Trx40

 

[Shaneee]

@baronerosso same KP as before?

 

[baronerosso]

@baronerosso same KP as before?

no, no KP, but no connection after 1 minute

 

[Shaneee]

It just drops the connection? Check in the console app for any errors as to why please. Also is it set up manually or Automatic in System Preferences?

 

[baronerosso]

Just drop connection.

No errors in console regarding the kext.

Changing set up in Network-Advanced-Hardware from Automatic to Manual and again from Manual to Automatic solve, the connection restart, but … only for a minute!

 

[Shaneee]

@reinierlazo You're still using SmallTree as per your screenshots.

@baronerosso Unforntauly I'm not sure why. I'm by means no developer, all I've done is update the AppleIGB kext source to the Intel IGB Linux driver v5.7.2. Beyond that I'm a bit lost.

@iGPU You were working on SmallTree, any thoughts on this? I've attached the original kext source and IGB driver if you're interested.
