<< Solved >> [HELP] Post Install : HP6300 Ethernet not working

[jazznerd]

Hi to all,
Internet trough Ethernet card doesn't work on fresh install of HP6300 High Sierra 10.13.6 ,
It never worked : not from OSX USB Unibeast Installer nor from Multibeast postinstall.
The Ethernet port gives green light with cable plugged - does it means it functions?

Tested from Linux: Internet / Ethernet works perfectly if i boot to Linux from a pendrive though

here are the installed kexts screenshot in case its helps.

how to get Ethernet card to work / function properly in High Sierra ?

thanks in advance for any tips , ideas

peace

Problem solved!

After watching Install videos and reading lots of posts about High Sierra post install issues ,
figured out that the Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Ethernet Controller ( rev 04) on HP 6300 SFF
requires a RehabMan IntelMausiEthernet.kext driver/extention , that i've forgot to select in Multibeast options
in my post install!

1. downloaded the latest version 2.4.1d1 from https://bitbucket.org/RehabMan/os-x-intel-network/downloads/

2. installed it with KextBeast

- Internet worked instantly without restart!

hope this info helps anyone with similar problem.
cheers

P.S. only one issue after installing IntelMausiEthernet.kext is that HP6300 doesn't wake up from sleep anymore ...
is this normal?
