[Guide] Intel NUC7/NUC8 using Clover UEFI (NUC7i7Bxx,NUC8i7Bxx,etc)

[Drfrag]

Hi @Drfrag are you the developer of the kext, found in https://github.com/zxystd/itlwm ?
Can you perhaps kindly provide a pre-compiled Debug/Release version of the latest commits, please? I see there was some more improvements...
But I also see that your kext only supports Catalina, why not Mojave, is it too hard to include 10.14 as minimum version?
Thanks again!

Here is your kext. Debug and Release versions for Mojave. Build from latest source.

Hi,
I did a clean install with Unibeast and used the EFI without USB headers from page 90, i couldn't get the version with USB headers to work, it constantly gave a mysterious "5" error message while installing.
However now sleep is working but i get very very slow internet speed over ethernet. It is barely usable.
I tried to activate and deactivate ethernet is preferences but no changes.
any ideas?
thanks

You can try changing the Ethernet settings in System Preferences / Network Advanced. to "Manual" 1000baseT.

There is also a different Ethernet kext you can change if that doesn't work.

Thanks but it didn't change the issue.
It is very strange, just after boot up i get full ethernet speed.
Shortly after it gets barely unusable.
What is that kext i should try and where to install it ?
thanks

Here's the kext. To install it mount your EFI partition so you can edit the folders and config.plist. Copy the kext to EFI/OC/Kexts, you can delete the IntelMausi.kext too if you like. Then open your config.plist using a plist editor like SimpleTree or Xcode or whatever is you pleasure (just don't use OpenCore Configurator.)
Navigate to the Kernel/Add portion of the config.plist and then edit the entry for IntelMaus.kext to say IntelMausiEthernet.kext. Also edit the content line to say IntelMausiEthernet. See the example below before editing. Then reboot and see if it helps

Thanks, i did what you said but the issue is still there.
Ethernet is unusable. I tested with a Ethernet/usb adaptor and it works fine.
How can i progress to get native ethernet support back to normal? any file i could give you to help?

Can you please check for what kexts are installed in Library/ Extensions? Please take a screen shot and post it. Depending on what you tried to do before using my EFi folder there maybe duplicates there to deal with.

Hello.
I have been using Leesureone EFI clover configuration for some time now on my Nuc8 i3. Today i decided to try the opencore one. So far eveything works fine. I could find out how to disable the versbose mode but i can't find how to stop from opencore to write .txt files on the root of my EFI partition. I rebooted like 10 times, I have 10 files there. In a couple of days my efi parition will be full.

Sorry if this has already been answered but it's kinda hard to find stuff on such long thread and i'm a complete noob to opencore.

Edit : Found the answer to my own question.

Can you tell me how you fixed your problems i do have the same ones with opencore! Thanks

open config.plist with PropperTree.
To disable Verbose mode go to NVRAM segment look for boot arguments, delete the -v option.

For boot log go to Debug segment -- target --- and change the value from 67 to 0
