Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI Ethernet not working - clover

[myneworld]

Hi, I am having issues with the ethernet of my Gigabyte motherboard, it has two ethernet ports one intel, one Atheros :

Intel[SUP]®[/SUP] GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)(LAN1)
Atheros[SUP]®[/SUP] GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)(LAN2)

I tried the AppleIntelE1000 kext but it doesn't work, plus ALXEthernet and AppleRTL8169Ethernet doesn't work.
On the ethernet port I can see 2 lights one is turning on and off about twice every second.

I also tried the second port but I have no lights nor results.

Could someone enlighten me a little bit on this subject.

Everything is stock, I haven't changed the wifi and I am not using it.

And also on the network menu I only have a bluetooth PAN and a built-in port (with phone logo).
But no ethernet.

I've found for my H87N-Wifi that this intel driver is the most stable and best kext to use: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304235-intelmausiethernetkext-for-intel-onboard-lan/

1. For the Intel i217V read the instructions here, and download kext here.
2. For the Atheros 8161B read the instructions here, and download kext here.

Hi, thank you very much, I think that will work if I manage to get it installed xD

Well these are the steps :
Installation

1. Goto /S/L/E and delete AppleIntelE1000e.kext. //It isn't there, there is nothing so I skip
2. Recreate the kernel cache. //No need as I didn't change anything
3. Open System Preferences and delete the corresponding network interface, e. g. en0. //I deleted the only two things : Built-in port (phone logo) and bluetooth PAN.
4. Reboot. //I don't need that, I didn't do something that requires a reboot
5. Install the new driver and recreate the kernel cache. I recommend to use Kext Wizard or a similar utility for the installation. // I used kext wizard to install kexts then I generate kernel cache.
6. Reboot
7. Open System Preferences again, select Network and check if the new network interface has been created automatically or create it manually now. //There is nothing there, and when I press +, there is only 2 options, bluetooth and builtin serial port.
8. Configure the interface.//there is nothing that I can configure.

I am having trouble with the installation, did I do some mistakes ?
It just doesn't work.

To install it I use kext wizard to install then create cache, then after deleting everything in network, I reboot but nothing is different.
I am seriously having trouble.installing it , could you help me a little bit ?
Thank you

Are both ethernet ports enabled in the BIOS?

In BIOS press F2, go to Peripherals and check that

• PCH LAN Controller is enabled (Intel i217V)
• Onboard LAN Controller is enabled (Atheros 8161B)

Do you have any ethernet kexts injected through Clover?

• Use Clover Configurator to mount the EFI partition.
• Use finder and check EFI>EFI>CLOVER>kexts>10.10
• Delete any AppleIntelE1000.kext, ALXEthernet.kext and AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext

You can install the ethernet kexts in S/L/E, or inject them by copying them to EFI>EFI>CLOVER>kexts>10.10, NOT both.
