<< Solved >> Designare z170x second NIC - how to add?

[Sassota]

I recently chenged my hackintosh from Clover to OpenCore, everything appears to be fine, the only thing that is bothering me is that my motherboard has 2 NICs but I can't figure it out how to make the second one to work. Where do I declare it?

tks

Depends on which Ethernet controllers your two Intel Lan ports use. Also depends on which Ethernet port is already declared and provided with a kext for it to function.

If you are using OpenCore, then you need to have two Intel Ethenet kexts within the /OC/Kexts folder. Probably your system requires IntelMausiEthenet.kext and SmallTree-Intel-211-AT-PCIe-GBE.kext for the two Intel ports to function.

Copies of both kexts are attached for you to try.

You may have one of these kexts or an alternative kext such as IntelMausi.kext, in the /OC/Kexts folder. In that case you only need to add one of the two kexts to the folder.

Do not forget to add an entry for the new kext in your config.plist.

Tks a lot @Edhawk it worked with Smalltree. I thought that because both NICs are i219-V I only needed to declare in NetworkInterfaces.plist
