I need a 10GB network card

[Aledky91]

Hi everyone.

Can anyone recommend a 10GB ethernet card that is compatible with hackintosh? I am currently on the latest version of Sonoma. I would like it to be PCI and not USB.

Thank you all very much

Intel X520 & X540 cards are known to work in macOS using Mieze’s IntelLucy.kext.

Other Intel 10GB cards in the 500 series also work. These are old server cards.

Alternatively the Aquantia 107 &113 chipsets can be set to work using @CaseySJ Aquantia patches.

Thank you very much for the information. I have decided on the first option. Intel X540

When I have everything installed I will publish the result.

Thanks

Hi, I'm looking forward to buy an intel x520 card .Did you manage to make your card work using Mieze/IntelLucy kext?

In addition to Intel 500 series, with Mieze's kext, and Aquantia 107/113 with CaseySJ's patches, you can use Chelsio T520 cards or Solarflare SFN5122F / SFN6122F cards (but not the "newer" PCIe 3.0 7122F) with the kext driver from the manufacturer (Catalina package still available from Chelsio, Solarflare driver archived here). These are old but good server cards, and are available at low (<$50) prices en eBay. The Chelsio driver also works with T6 cards such as the T6225; this may be the only kext solution for 25 Gb/s with a Ryzentosh.
Signing certificates for the drivers have long expired, so it's best to put the kext in the EFI folder rather than installing from macOS.

Mind that all these cards expect some cooling airflow (PCIe 2.0 Solarflare 5000/6000 are the lowest power options in the lot).

Intel users with VT-d enabled can use Intel X500, Intel X710, and Mellanox ConnectX-4/5/6 NICs "out of the box" thanks to Driver Kit, but this is not available to AMD hacks.
