I'm talking about AppleIntelE1000e.kext/Contents/Info.plist. usually there's a bunch of device ids in there for what it's compatible with. Search for 15a1 in there. I'm guessing maybe it's in the 3.1 version but not in the older one, in which case you would just need to add it. Worst case scenario you can just get a pcie Ethernet card that is supported ootb for like $20.

I have checked that the 2.5.4d version already contains the 0x15a18086 but the ethernet is still not detected. Only when I load the 3.1 driver. Which is really odd.
 
That is really odd. I'll download the driver and take a look at it.
 
in Clover when I disable LAN FIX in the option -> dsdt fix mask -> fix lan the INtel driver is now loading but I get kernel panic. I will try bakc 2.4.14 and inject the 0x151a and also other versions of the driver.

Where did you find 2.5.4d? I couldn't find that version anywhere.

I noticed this in the changelog for the driver:

2014/5/18
Updated to 3.0.4.1a.
Added the hardware ID values which I forgot to add in 3.0.4.1 ( 0x15a0,0x15a1,0x15a2,0x15a3 )
Stopped allocating mbufs for receive buffers.

So it looks like it was just a mistake.
 
it is in the multibeast bundle. now more weired things are happening - now the 2.5.4d was causing haning the boot process - last lines was intelapplee1000 changing MTU from 0 to 1500 and the last line is Waiting on <dict ID=0>......bootmedia</dict> and it does not want to boot. This is also happening on the 2.4.14 now with injected 0x15a18086.

Try an older version of Clover. 28xx maybe. What mobo do you have? I wonder if this problem might be specific to one manufacturer. InsaneCultist had the exact same problem with Clover.

I think it has something to do with DDR4 memory. Try using different slide values... slide=0, slide=1, slide=2, etc and see if any of those help.

Also @festr2 you should post your Clover EFI folder, maybe it would be helpful to those having trouble.

I'm using X99 Gigabyte Soc force coupled with 5960X

I'll try this tomorrow when i get back..
 
Ok I have found the problem with instability (slow upload)

edit /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelE1000e.kext/Contents/Info.plist

locate NETIF_F_TSO and change true to false

sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/

sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelE1000e.kext

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/IONetworkingFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleIntelE1000e.kext

and the problem is gone

the multibeast should fix the bundled appleintelhda 3.0 and 3.1 to switch this to false because driver does NOT support TCP Segment Offloading (TSO)

Tony - can you fix that and maybe do new release of the multibeast to save a lot of headaches? P:)

Good catch.
 
hi guys !

dont want to polute the debate so i'll be straight :

i've seen that some of the X99 mobo can run XEON E5 V3 , do you think it is possible that the hack would work with those ? not that i'm looking for more speed, but it looks that you could possiblely have way more ram.... and by extension should dual processor mobo such as super micro X10 AI with thunderbolt header should work?

is it true that as long as the list of component of the mobo are known, it's just a matter of loading the right Kext for those component, or is there any trick in the bios that could possibly prevent OSX installation such as not being a EFI bios?
