Hey guys and gals,
I decided to buy the GA-H77-ds3h because it was recommended in the CustoMac Buyer's Guide. Good board overall, installation was pretty easy. However, the problem is that the latest revision of this board (and the Z77 variant) includes a different LAN card than the original. The original had an AR8151 and the new one has the AR8161. Maolj's AtherosL1c doesn't work with the AR8161 so for now anyone who bought this motherboard might be a little angry. I'm not that pissed off about it, because I'm sure eventually Maolj's kext will be updated to work with this networking chip. And I also have a mini-pcie to pciex1 adapter coming in the mail that I will use with my re-branded BCM4322 wifi card. That will be fine while we wait for the new LAN driver. But I don't know if iCloud and MacAppStore will work with it, I'll let you guys know. Does anyone have experience porting Linux drivers to Mac OS? I wanted to get a thread started for other people with the same problem, to make a place for testing and hopefully get in contact with Maolj himself so we can all work together. I don't know if this person has a blog or website, can't find much info about him/her. I saw a few threads with the same issue but they are all dead-ends and don't mention that an actual PERSON made the driver and he/she might not be aware of the issue. So, Maolj, if you are out there, please update us. And everyone else, maybe collectively we can get the ball rolling.
