Hi Guys,

Recently I bought a new hardware for my new custom mac and I'm facing some problems with ethernet cards. As described on title I bought a Gigabyte Z170X-UD5 motherboard this contains two ethernet cards but I can't make both work. On Buyer's Guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/buyersguide/august/2016#Motherboards on this motherboard shows 2x i219-V but on the bios it's show me one i219-v and one i211 I tried with both kexts on Multibeast AppleIntelE1000e and IntelMausiEthernet but I have no success to configure both ethernet cards. Only i219-v works. I attach a image from bios about the ethernet cards.

Ps 1. My setup is GA-Z170X-UD5, I7 6700k, 32GB RAM, EVGA GTX 960 SSC, SSD Samsung 850 EVO
Ps 2. I'll create a new topic on User Builds section when I think everything work as expected on my installation.

AppleIntelE1000.kext doesn't support I211, use AppleIGB.kext from MultiBeast.
 
I upgrade to macOs Sierra and I still can't fix the issue with the i211 ethernet card. I already tried this AppleIGB.kext but I can't make booth ethernet card work.
 
I have the same board as you - try using AppleIGB.kext, but install it on the EFI drive in /CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHER. For some odd reason that was the only way it worked for me.

Same situation here, I can not run both ethernet cards at the same time.
i'm currently running 10.11.6 I don't want to update to sierra right now because of all my software and plug-in compatibility.

My question here is: do you have another kext in /library/extension or juste the AppleIGB.kext in /CLOVER/KEXTS/OTHER ?

And how do you install kexts in the clover/kexts directory?

Except this little problem my system is running great I would be very happy if i was able to fix that.

Thanks
