For months now Intel i219 ethernet on Skylake 100 Series motherboards has been unsupported. With recent changes to sources, both Mieze's IntelMausiEthernet and Hnak's AppleIntelE1000e.kext now enable all i219 variants.

100 Series additional support:

  • i219-LM
  • i219-V
  • i219-LM2
  • i219-V2

I have compiled the fixed working sources in Xcode from theracermaster and jsmcconn's version of Mieze's driver and from hnak's driver for ease of testing. Official versions of both drivers should be available soon. I do not take any credit for these works. Special thanks to alreadystarted for the heads up in the Skylake Starter Guide. Please test and reply here with results.

EDIT: Working/Updated drivers have now been uploaded to the Kexts download section:

Here is a pic from DPCIManager showing i219-V2 working on ASUS Maximus VIII Hero:

Thanks Tony can you point me to any reference material so that I could learn a bit of the process involved in compiling from the source files?

Not sure there is a clear tutorial for a .kext driver project, but you can follow this older method to compile a source:
http://classes.engr.oregonstate.edu/eecs/fall2015/cs261-002/Resources/XcodeTutorial.pdf

After you compile successfully, check the Products area for the .kext file.

In other words:
1. Download the project source
2. Open the .xcodeproj with Xcode
3. Hit the Run button
4. Check Products for .kext file

Again, I am very pleased with these driver files.

My test system is:

ASUS Z1701 Pro Gaming (mini-ITX)
i7-6700T
16 GB DDR4
8400 GS
BIOS v 0604
OS 10.11.2
Clover 3320

Both of these kext files work very well. Installed using KextBeast to the /Library/Extensions folder.

Good modding,
neil
