Customac Pro Sierra Sleep Issues - USB 3.0 & Ethernet dropped on wake.

[GryphonP3]

Hey guys - First timer here. Here is my build:

Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Designare 4GB
Core i7-6700K
EVGA GTX 960 Super Clocked

Everything has been working perfectly for me so far - I initially had to override the OS X internal graphics driver and set up the NVIDEA Web one to get my graphics working properly, but that was a minor hiccup. The only problem I'm facing so far is that every time my computer falls asleep, when I wake it up, all of my USB devices have been ejected incorrectly, though they reconnect right away once I wake it up. My keyboard and mouse will not wake the machine up - I have to physically press the power button to wake it up. Also, my ethernet connection (I don't use WIFI) becomes disconnected, and won't work again until I do a full reboot. I have seen others complaining about this problem, but no solutions from what I have seen.. Not for Sierra anyway.

Here is what I have tried:

-Using Multibeast to install the IntelMausiEthernet.kext ethernet driver instead of the AppleGB v5.3.5.3 driver which I had originally selected upon initial installation. For some reason, every time I tried this, Multibeast would not Repaired Permissions/Rebuilt Cache, then rebooted, the IntelMausiEthernet.kext was nowhere to be found in my S/L/E folder. I could also never even find my original AppleGB v5.3.5.3.kext there either. So what I ended up doing was using Kext Wizard to manually install the IntelMausiEthernet.kext into my S/L/E, repair/rebuild/reboot. Still does not work. I also followed this whole process quoted from another thread:

"Hello,
I had the same problem before on ASUS Z170M Plus, and I finally fixed it by installing IntelMausiEthernet.kext instead of AppleIntelIE1000e.kext.
1. Remove Ethernet (en0) from Preference Panel -> Network
2. Remove AppleIntelIE1000e.kext from S/L/E and rebuild kernel cache.
3. Restart.
4. Install IntelMausiEthernet.kext and rebuild kernel cache.
5. Restart.
6. Add Ethernet back to Preference Panel -> Network.
7. Restart.
And the Ethernet should work even after sleep and wake."

No dice.

On the USB front, I have tried installing all of the USB drivers in Multibeast, and again, I can't find any of their kexts in my S/L/E folder. Weird. It seems like Multibeast (latest version) is not functioning properly. Strange since it WILL change my System Definition, and it did my original install properly. I also tried a fix pack posted in another thread to no avail.

Here is my config.plist any help would be great!

@GryphonP3, please update your profile (personal details) with your build (Motherboard, CPU and Graphics Card).

Profiles need to contain at least your primary system to assist others with helping you.

MultiBeast installs the network drivers in /Library/Extensions NOT /System/Library/Extensions.

Updated. ThNks for the heads up!

I now have a much bigger problem.. I opened my config.plist and added darkwake=0 to the boot flag list, and now my machine wont boot. It only gives me the option to boot from USB, or from darwin, which gives me this panic message when I try to boot from it. I would start a new thread but I dont even know what to label it. Cant believe such a minor edit had such huge consequences! Maybe I will have to do a clean install from USB but that would be hell as I've spent 10 hours installing all my music software yesterday.. But I guess its not that bad worst case scenario..

Try the solution from the Can't perform kext scan: no kext summary topic.

If you use only one stick of RAM try moving it to a different slot.

Hmm.. The only solution I see there is

"Try setting config.plist under SMBIOS->Trust=true"

I dont see how I can acces config.plist without booting? In clover->options->SMBIOS I only get these options

Ok, did a clean reinstall and changed my BIOS, now everything is working again, but the sleep issues still persist. I have darkwake=0 in my config.plist, but it doesn't help. Any suggestions are very welcome.
