ASUS X299 Monterey/Ventura Support

[djlild7hina]

I thought i211 would as handled by e1000 apple with VT D enabled in bios

Thanks. I hope I can do this, as I never approached this level of skill set yet. I'll probably be back to ask questions. So I hope you'll forgive my ignorance.

• I'm not sure if this will work but I believe @mysticmerlin was referring to this.

1. Add "dk.e1000=0" to your config.plist under NVRAM-Add-7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82-boot-args

2. Make sure SmallTreeIntel82576.kext is set to No/False under Kernel-Add

• While the process zipb is referring to should already work with the BASE-EFI assuming you have SmallTreeIntel82576.kext set to disabled and VT-D enabled in the BIOS.

If this works or if anyone else has a way to get the I211 working in Monterey/Ventura let me know and I can update the EFI but that'll be it from me

I keep saying it's my last post but I end up commenting...

I grabbed your previous USB kext and rename it here.

1. Delete USBInjectAll.kext in the EFI folder under EFI-OC-Kexts and copy the USB kext attached in the same place
2. Modify the USBInjectAll entry in the config.plist like shown below under Kernel-Add

3. Set XhciPortLimit to No/False under Kernel-Quirks in config.plist

I will try it. I wish I could give you a high five and a hug. You're AWESOME MAN!!! I'll let you know how it works in the morning. THANKS!!!

By the way, I saw a white PC that you put together about 4 or 5 months ago. NICE CLEAN LOOKIN' PC!

Real quick, what editing app did you use to make those kext changes?

Hey all. Hack is fully running flawlessly so thank you all again. ASUS swapped my board and I’m cruising (Sage /10G / 10980XE / 128 GB Corsair Vengeance @3200 XMP / Radeon 6900XT / Gigabyte Titan Ridge soft modded w/ jumper)

So I’m debating grabbing the Caldigit TS4 but obviously to take advantage of it, I’d have to upgrade or add in another card (I see the ThunderboltEX 4 seems to be my only option)- I have so many questions so bare with me:

- Can I use this card in addition to my Titan Ridge or do I have to replace it?
- Do I need to do any mods like I had to get hot plug support and all that?
- Is it a crazy SSDT thing like the Titan Ridge was?

I’m asking here as I can’t seem to find much about this after searching a bit.

Thanks in advance!

Hey djbudda, This post is thinning out a bit and it's good to see you poppin' in. Good to see you back here; even if it's for a brief moment.

Okay, I bit confused, You said:

1. Delete USBInjectAll.kext in the EFI folder under EFI-OC-Kexts and copy the USB kext attached in the same place

I deleted the USBInjectAll.kext in the NEW (EFI 0.8.3), that you provided. Then I replaced with the USBMap.kext. Should I name the USBMap.kext to USBInjectAll.kext, or just keep the name: USBMap.kext?

Also, you said:

2. Modify the USBInjectAll entry in the config.plist like shown below under Kernel-Add

How do I do that? What am I to modify?

Lastly, you said:

3. Set XhciPortLimit to No/False under Kernel-Quirks in config.plist

I went to Quirks > XhclPortLimit > and switched it from "YES" to "NO." So that worked. I look forward to getting more detail on the first 2 instructions you provided. Thank you.

After you can help address the prior questions (above), can you please answer these?

You said:

1. Add "dk.e1000=0" to your config.plist under NVRAM-Add-7C436110-AB2A-4BBB-A880-FE41995C9F82-boot-args

Where and how do I add them?

Also, you said:

2. Make sure SmallTreeIntel82576.kext is set to No/False under Kernel-Add

Where would I find "Kernel-Add" to "set" it to "NO?"

Your last statement (below):

• While the process zipb is referring to should already work with the BASE-EFI assuming you have SmallTreeIntel82576.kext set to disabled and VT-D enabled in the BIOS.

Yes, I'm currently working on the NEW BASE-EFI (v0.8.3) that you provided. I'll be waiting for your reply for to set the SmallTree to "NO," and where would I find the "VT-D" in BIOS. I'll look for it and hope that I can find it.

I know you said:

Again, I can't express my gratitude for your help and input! THANK YOU !!!!!
