<< Solved >> I'm struggling with detecting my Fenvi T919 on my BigSur X299

[P1LGRIM]

Like you said, BlueTooth works perfectly

Where did I say that ?

Do I have any weird Kexts that are loaded that you don't recognize?

No idea.

If not this card specifically, any other brands you'd recommend that should give me hope?

No.

Sorry, it was UtterDisbelief who suggested that, apologize.

In any case, thank you for all your help, if something comes to mind please share.

changing the slot that the card is installed in can have a positive effect

Interesting thing happened when I replugged the Fenvi to a different slot.
On my system information, I now see under PCI the 3rd entry:
pci14e4,43a0 Other Network Controller J8B4@161,0,0

I tried another thing, I plugged a network cable from my router with no luck. I don't have an entry in my Network to add ethernet, and when I click on little '+', I get Bluetooth Pan, Wi-Fi, VPN, PPPoE, 6to4

Of course I tried Wi-Fi, and same effect, unable to enable it. But why don't I have ethernet, I thought that was built in. If not, is there a kext of some sort that I need to put in my EFI?

Interestingly enough, I connected Bluetooth to my cell phone, and used it as a network. My computer now has internet connection, thought incredibly slow.

is there a kext of some sort that I need to put in my EFI?

Yes, probably IntelMausiEthernet.kext or IntelMausi.kext.

Your motherboard has two Ethernet ports, both use an Intel chipset. So the IntelMausiEthernt.kext or IntelMausi.kext suggested by P1LGRIM, will work with one of the two ports.

The other port probably requires SmallTreeIntel82576.kext.

I was browsing some log files and came across this wi-fi.log that was just generated today.
Please help me to make sense out of it, if possible.

 

[P1LGRIM]

Looks like you may have not removed/disabled the kexts that you used with your Intel module.

not removed/disabled the kexts that you used with your Intel module

Does it reference which one? I didn't do any explicit disabling, I don't know where to. I physically removed the card, I was hoping that'd be enough.

Please help, let me know if you need my updated EFI for that.

Warmest regards,

SmallTreeIntel82576.kext.

Added this file, and had intelmausiethernet.kext already in my EFI.

One new thing appeared on my Network:
Ethernet 2
This one has a yellow dot next to it, this is the first time I see anything other than red in my network list.
Next to it is a status: Connected
Below is:
Ethernet 2 has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the internet.
I don't know what that means, but I'm willing to investigate. Any change is good at this point. thank you for the recommendation.

Hackintoshes don't run on hope.

Post an image of your /Kexts folder.
