I've read so many posts on this forum on this issue (dropping the ethernet after sleep) and I've tried many things, but I have to finally admit this issue is above my head. Some folks have said this is a known issue with this MB. I've tried different kexts (IntelMaus is the only one that seems to work), configured all my USB ports, tried using the second Ethernet port on my MB... nothing seems to rectify this. All in all, my install of Catalina was pretty easy going and most things worked right out of the box. But losing my Ethernet after the system sleeps is very annoying and I have to reboot to get the connection back again. (When I wake the computer from sleep, the Network under System Preferences shows no connection and tells me a cable is unplugged.) I should also tell you that I only know enough about building computers to get into trouble! I have a very limited education on this topic aside from what I've learned on my own and though I've built PC's before, this is my very first Hackintosh. In a new twist, now my network printer (Epson ET-4550) prints excruciatingly slow from the Hackintosh, but not any other device. Originally, the printer worked beautifully when this new computer was set up. The printer is wireless and the Hackintosh connects through the ethernet to the router. I am certain the two issues must be related.
I'm running a GIGABYTE Z390 DESIGNARE LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard; Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630; SAMSUNG 970 PRO M.2 2280 1TB PCIe Gen3. X4, NVMe 1.3 64L V-NAND 2-bit MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD); Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E Dual HDMI / DVI-D / Dual DP OC w/ Backplate (UEFI); with a CORSAIR RMx Series RM850x CP-9020180-NA 850W ATX12V / EPS12V 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply; and Noctua NH-C14S 140mm SSO2 C-type Premium Quiet CPU Cooler; in a Thermaltake View 51 Snow Motherboard Sync ARGB E-ATX Full Tower Computer Case with 2 White 200mm ARGB 5V Mobo Sync RGB Fans + White 120mm ARGB 5V Mobo (not connected to the MB). With the exception of the 2 CPU cooling fans, the case fans are connected to the controller on the case, not the MB. The whole system is connected to a an ASUS RT-AC88U router with regular updates to the firmware. I've attached my config.plist and a copy of my EFI file if that helps.
If anyone has any new insight to this issues or can point me to a solution, I would be very grateful! Thank you. (If you need to see some computer gibberish to diagnose the problem, you'll have to walk me through that, please. I have Clover Configurator, Hackintool, and OpenCore Configurator, but I'm no expert with those tools. Frankly, if it wasn't for the good people on this forum, I would have never attempted this project.)
