Gigabyte Z490 Vision D (Thunderbolt 3) + i5-10400 + AMD RX 580

Thanks @CaseySJ and @c-o-pr appreciate the help. Unfortunately I've spent the last hour looking for the modded zip file since its been removed from Insanely mac. Ive had no luck finding it anywhere. If either of you can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. Even the sites that needed to b translated point to the Insanely mac location...

I did notice that Gigabyte has a firmware update tool for the Vision D though. Maybe this will wok the same?

Do you have a Monterey install on a drive? The needed file is IONeyworkingFamily.kext from /System/Library/Extensions

This needed file is inside the IONeyworkingFamily.kext (Show package contents...)

There's is most likely a way to retrieve it from a Monterey installer without doing an install, maybe using Pacifist? Or there's a way to unpack an installer but I don't have the recipe handy.

I do have Monterey on the Disk which I'm booting currently. I'm looking for eeupdate64.efi file though to flash the Ethernet firmware? This is contained in a KEXT?

Specifically this: I225-Vmod.zip

It's still there, but without an user account it won't show-up. You would find it Online, by searching with the term: I225-Vmod . But some of these options are for Windows. If you dual boot it could work but not everyone is dual booting.

Thanks @CaseySJ I'll report back after I've pulled this off!

This indeed fixed it! Thanks @CaseySJ, @c-o-pr , and @tecnicasopr for all trying to help me so quickly. I appreciate you all!

For others trying to flash the i225v ethernet controller I used "Option 2" instructions from this github:

Just have a look at ACPI section of config.plist as shown:
View attachment 556861
Then follow remaining instructions in the previously linked post to add IntelBTPatcher.kext and AirportItlwm-Monterey.kext and/or AirportItlwm-Big-Sur.kext. There's also a version for Ventura that we can download and use:

Release v2.1.0 stable · OpenIntelWireless/itlwm

Added 2 boot-args -novht: Disables 802.11AC support -noht40: Disables 40MHz when using 2.4GHz (Use this option if the network with this config causes instabilities. BRCM cards disable 2.4GHz HT40 ...

github.com

I follow your advice but I can't get Bluetooth to work properly, I have no idea what's going on
When I try to use AirportItlwm-Monterey.kest or AirportItlwm-Big-Sur.kext the System freezes on startup on apple.
When I use AirportItlwm v2.2.0-alpha then Ventura starts normal, but the Bluetooth is very unstable, a weak signal, freezes all the time etc...
Please look at my config file again, I'm afraid I'm still doing something wrong.

Hello @grafiko,

The Intel i225-V port is natively supported in Ventura. We should not use AppleIntelI210Ethernet. Instead, simply remove or comment-out the Device Property for i225-V in config.plist, and also remove any boot-arg related to it. Please refer to this post:

Gigabyte Z690 Aero G + i5-12600K + AMD RX 6800 XT

In my case the boot argument is necessary, otherwise the 1GbE driver gets attached instead of the 2.5GbE driver. I put the above changes on test USB installer stick; I booted into Monterey. No problems > Ethernet working fine. BTW, USB stick has OC 0.8.3 developer version which I'm going to...

You're right! I see the post and I can remove all what I was added, following your guide in the post and working fine too. Thank you soooooo much!!!
