Ethernet not recognized. WiFi works fine.

[rwwilkinson]

Hi all,
I'm having an issue where High Sierra isn't recognizing my ethernet. However, my WiFi card is working fine. It would be much preferred to be using ethernet though. Any ideas?

I have an MSI Z270 Gaming M3 motherboard, and I installed VooDooHDA as the kext.

Thanks for the help!

VooDooHDA will make your audio work, it has nothing to do with ethernet

you want to try one of these:
IntelMausiEthernet.kext
AtherosE2200Ethernet.kext
RealtekRTL8111.kext

VoodooHDA is an open source audio driver how would it help with your ethernet problem ?

Haha I am completely new to this and have no idea what I’m doing so...

Can I just drag those kexts to the Kexts/Other folder?
