High Sierra native support for 10Gb ethernet

[illusion3110]

Motherboards have 20 to 24 lanes (Non HEDT ones) So please check if you are over your lane limit.

I have 4 x16 PCIe3 lanes in x16/x8/x8/x8 mode and two x1 Lanes
x16 is GPU and x8 are Areca 1882, Sonnet Allegro USB 3.1 and Sonnet Solo10g.
x1 lanes are Decklink Mini Monitor and Innateck 4006 USB3

Do you see "built-in" in IOService plane?

I do not see "built-in"... I attached screenshots.
But I also don't see the NIC in IOACPIPlane like on your screenshots.

I highly doubt the issue is with PCI-e lanes. I've jury-rigged my AQC107 based card in to a PCI-e x1 slot and it worked fine, albeit at 5GBase-T speeds.

My onboard intel 1Gbe NIC showed connection in network preferences (even though there was no cable) when I connected 10Gbe NIC.
I then disabled onboard 1Gbe NIC and removed the kext but that did no help.
I also removed SSDT which Shilohh made for onboard devices but that did not help either.
I would have to modify that SSDT but I don't know how...

I can confirm Aquantia AQtion 10G Gaming NIC (AQN-107) works natively. I had originally purchased the AQN/AQC-100 (SFP+ port instead of RJ-45) but that card wasn't detected and I'm not smart enough to hack any kexts to get it working. My 10Gbe switch has SFP+ ports so I just bought a 10GBase-T transceiver to plug the cat7 cable into.

Just to inform that the 10G onboard of the GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS XTREME, is working with Mojave 10.14.5

Flashed this to x399 onboard AQC107, link speed only 0x3B9ACA00. Going back to Apple Firmware.

Did you set the ip addresses manually from both computers for the direct connection?

So, has anyone experimented with OpenCore? I have tried to move the Asus XG-C100C patch from Clover to OC and no success yet.....

I tried putting it in Kernel -> Patch (see below), but it did not work. Should the identifier be IONetworking?

I didn't try with the card that needed the Meize patch, but my Syba card, which doesn't need the patch, worked fine with OpenCore.
