Okay, for a long time, I helped support this thread, along with @pastrychef and @d5aqoep):
These cards are supported natively in macOS (meaning no drivers are needed):
1. Syba 10 GBE
2. Aquantia 10G Gaming (Black PCB)
3. Synology 10 GBE
I have only Syba cards, and in my machines I don't load a driver in Catalina (or Mojave for that matter), so I have no need to e-mail anyone for drivers I don't need.
But then, others might. So.....a little more insight here might be useful.......
There are a lot of different firmware Aquantia cards out there, and if there are drivers, that would be great, for those who can't get support in macOS for their firmware version of their Aquantia cards.
For instance, for Asus's version of the Aquantia 10GbE cards, the Asus XG-C100C, (which is a AQN-107 firmware version) if you apply this patch, it will work in macOS (and that includes Catalina):
Kext to patch (credit should go to Mieze of that "other" site):
com.apple.driver.AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion
Find
6275696C 742D696E
Replace
62626262 62626262
But there's no way to know how long a patch will continue to work in newer versions of macOS. A Kext driver would be great, if such a thing were available. I kind of doubt that the drivers for one firmware will work for another Aquantia card, but for those who need it, all the best luck, maybe someone could come up with a hack.....
High Sierra native support for 10Gb ethernet
Hey everyone! I have been trying to get an Aquantia AQN-107 card to work in my hackintosh. I've tried in both 10.13.6 and a fresh install of 10.14, but every time I install the card, I get a black screen after the first apple loading logo on boot. Any ideas what might be going on?
