10.12.4 Ethernet not working

After upgrading to 10.12.4, my Ethernet ports are not working. Wifi is, but any Ethernet LAN port will not work. I've tried three different ethernet cards, including my internal motherboard card/port, and none are working. I have the latest IntelMausi driver from ReHabMan, (3/21), but nothing seems to work.

None of the cards will accept DHCP. You can manually address them, and they do respond to a self ping, but they cannot ping anywhere else. Not to my local router, (or any local IP addresses), and not to the Internet.

Internal Ethernet chip is: Intel® I218V, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller, Clover version is r4049

This shows that the kext is loading:
$ kextstat | grep Mausi

64 0 0xffffff7f83ac3000 0x24000 0x24000 com.insanelymac.IntelMausiEthernet (2.2.1) 43B3C3B1-E032-3C2B-8598-320889964F57 <53 12 5 4 3 1>

Typical Ping response:
ping 8.8.8.8

PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host

Request timeout for icmp_seq 3
ping: sendto: No route to host (but adding a default route doesn't work either, as the route shows as already added (or the Wifi card wouldn't be able to get to the Internet).

I do have loaded the latest drivers from NVidia for 10.12.4. Most everything else works, just would like to get one of my wired Ethernet ports working.

I have an Asus X99-A II, 64 GB of DDR4 RAM, NVMe Samsung drive, GTX 980 TI with the latest drivers from NVidia, and of course 10.12.4. Most everything works. Just would like to get my LAN cards working.

Anyone else having this issue?


FIXED!

10.12.4 has some new features that can cause trouble with your build. One is that you need a newer copy of Clover to boot with (I used r4049). The other is that I had a lot of trouble with Ethernet drivers that had worked fine with 10.12.3.

Fortunately though, I was on insanelymac, and Mieze had posted a new version of his IntelMausi Ethernet driver, and it worked!!

Version is: IntelMausiEthernet-V2.3.0d0

Hi,

I am having the same problem.
The ethernet is green also wifi.
When i open safari, it just gets stuck loading the page.

However if i use iphone as hotspot it works.

I dont have an account on insanely mac, is it possible that the same kext is avaialble here? The last version in multibeast is v2.2.0, i think.

Also, would using the unibeast 7.1.1 improve the etherent complications?

Thanks a lot,
Btw. U guys are the best

You can get IntelMausiEthernet-V2.3.0d0 directly from the authors Github page for this kext:

hi thanks for the inf,
although i am a bit unexperienced with applying GITHUB materials to hacks.
A .kext doesn't exit/available?

best

Select the green button 'Clone or download', then click download ZIP. If you then right click to unzip the kext. With the kext on the desktop use your favourite kext installer to install. Then reboot.

Before you install the new kext make sure that you have removed the previous kext to the recycle bin and then empy the recycle bin to remove it from your working system.

i see, then i was doing right. The problem is it unzipped as a folder, with no .kext inside. Regardless of this i run Beast kext, successfully.
Reboot.

no luck.

prior to install i did trash it from
Lib/pref/

should i also search somewhere else?

Previous kext were from Multicast 9.0.1 directly. tried all of them.
no luck.

If i am not mistaken its not a problem to choose more than 1 driver form the multibeast/network. The one most appropriate for my mob would work?

I have to mention that this is my 2nd install in 2 months on the same computer same hardware.
the first one didn't gave me this problem.

It isn't a great idea, nor is it recommended to have several similar kext installed - there is a high chance of inconsistent performance and service conflicts/issues if you do.

MultiBeast installs to Library/Extensions so check carefully that you have removed ALL Ethernet kexts that have been installed from MultiBeast or you might find that your problems continue.

Download and read the MultiBeast features and information - it is also in the MultiBeast package when it is downloaded from this site:

will do a clean unibeast 7.1.1 install
and the 2.3.0 form Mieze.

Could it be that i missed something in the bios setup?

Unlikely that you have disabled the Ethernet port in the UEFI/BIOS, but it wouldn't do any harm to have a quick look. You can always set up the Optimised defaults and then go on to make the changes recommended in the 10.12 installation guide.

If you are using the GA-Z77-UP5TH motherboard then can I recommend that you follow the following guide - it is updated for Sierra:

Great idea!

Will get back with the results!
