Appreciate you reply! Will try to follow the steps you’ve beenThe process is:
- Everything I've heard and experienced says 10.13.3 is the sweet spot for this process, not 10.13.2. But before you begin, please read the warning listed below.
- Boot to 10.13.3 and see if it will flash your Aquantia card (the Asus XG-100C - can't comment about the Qnap card).
- Reboot a few times, and see if you can get it work in 10.13.3
- But note that if you get the Asus card working in 10.13.3, you must use special Apple Boot Camp drivers for Windows to get it to work in Windows 10 (in my experience, these drivers will only work in Windows 10, not Windows 8). Those drivers are listed in this thread. (post #112).
- Upgrade to 10.13.4 and apply the patch using Clover Configurator (post #118) or via the cli (post # 120).
- If the flash worked in 10.13.3, and the card worked in 10.13.3, after you apply the patch, it should now work in 10.13.4.
There is a chance that 10.13.4 will flash the card, but I'm not sure. So, apply the patch, boot and see if it does. And if it does, please report back.
WARNING: When you boot 10.13.3 and Apple flashes your card, that card is, for the most part, permanently changed. That means it's going to function as if its an Apple Aquantia card, and will require special drivers to function in Windows (so far, that's Windows 10 only - those drivers are available in this thread. I think post #112).
With a lot of effort, a user in this forum was able to work with a Aquantia tech to re-flash the card back to its default state, but it was a hassle and a lot of work. So, you may not want to have Apple alter your card. You should think about that, and decide if you want your card permanently changed or not....
