Lucy2.5G.kext working with 5G controller?

[filet]

Hi Guys,
currently setting up my EFI folder.
I have a MSI MAG x870 Tomahawk MBO with the Realtek® 8126-CG 5G LAN controller.
Can I just use the 2.5G LucyRTL8125Ethernet.kext with that?
Or wont it work like that?


Btw this is my system, if someone sees more compatability issues. Thanks in advance for the help!

8126 is not 8125.
WiFi 7? You won't have any network with macOS. Oops!
Samsung drives do not always play nice with macOS
The 7900XTX is not supported by macOS, as you're probably aware. But then the 5700XT will be on chipset lanes rather than on CPU lanes—suboptimal… if it runs at all. This raises the question whether a dual-purpose build is really the best option over two dedicated builds: One for WIndows and one for macOS.

Can you compromise on a single 6800/6900XT "to bind them all"?
Or find an alternative motherboard with a pair of bifurcated x8/x8 slots?
