Intel Network adapters on OS X: Small Tree drivers

Yeah the two showing up in Net Prefs are the two built-in ethernet ports on the motherboard. the only entries I see in ioreg are:
+-o ETH0@0 <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x10000019e, registered, match$
| | | +-o Intel82574L <class Intel82574L, id 0x100000275, !registere$
| | | +-o en0 <class IOEthernetInterface, id 0x1000002be, register$
| | | +-o IONetworkStack <class IONetworkStack, id 0x1000002af, $
| | | +-o IONetworkStackUserClient <class IONetworkStackUserCl$
| | +-o RP04@1C,3 <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x10000019f, registered, matche$
| | | +-o IOPP <class IOPCI2PCIBridge, id 0x100000253, registered, match$
| | | +-o ETH1@0 <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x1000001a0, registered, match$
| | | +-o Intel82574L <class Intel82574L, id 0x10000026b, !registere$
| | | +-o en1 <class IOEthernetInterface, id 0x1000002bf, register$
| | | +-o IONetworkStack <class IONetworkStack, id 0x1000002af, $
| | | +-o IONetworkStackUserClient <class IONetworkStackUserCl$

So I'm repairing disk permissions and will endeavor to rebuild cache (however that's done).

Also I found this in ioreg, but nothing related to smalltree or other ethernet interfaces:


+-o PXS3@0 <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x1000001be, registere$
| | | | | +-o FakePCIID <class FakePCIID, id 0x100000290, !regis$
| | | | +-o PXS3@0,1 <class IOPCIDevice, id 0x1000001f3, registe$
| | | | +-o FakePCIID <class FakePCIID, id 0x10000028f, !regis$

Thanks again!

There are a number of entries from past hours.. but these are the most recent since last reboot..

Problem is FakePCIID is starting after the smalltree drivers.

It must start before.

It is like you don't have the FakePCIID kexts in the kernel cache.

Wonderful! Is it dependent on the sequence I installed everything? As I did install that after the drivers.

Any suggestions on how to tackle this would be great.. I've already pulled the card and put it in a windows machine to see if that will work for what I need but that has other issues that prevent it from working even though the NIC installed and configured fine..

Anyhow - I really appreciate your advice and input.. The mac is the right hardware for what I need (lots of external drives from both Mac/PC need to be backed up to my RAID via fiber..)

Make sure kext-dev-mode=1 is set in NVRAM. Boot without caches (kernel flag -f) [there is probably some Mac specific way to do that]. Then rebuild cache:
Code: 
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /

Reboot (with caches... eg. normally).

So put card back in Mac -

Went into kext-dev-mode=1
Rebooted in Safe Mode
Ran that command - saw a number of items get 'omitted'
Rebooted normal

Still nothing in Network Prefs

Console shows a new weird entry during restart:

9/29/15 4:54:53.000 PM kernel[0]: considerRebuildOfPrelinkedKernel org.rehabman.driver.FakePCIID triggered rebuild

And there's nothing about Smalltree loading at all - Im going to reboot one more time to check logs then have to leave for the day.. :)
 
OK so here's the last reboot details:

9/29/15 5:03:33.892 PM stackshot[98]: Timed out waiting for IOKit to finish matching.
9/29/15 5:03:35.133 PM com.apple.kextd[49]: kext-dev-mode allowing invalid signature -67062 0xFFFFFFFFFFFEFA0A for kext "/System/Library/Extensions/FakePCIID.kext"

9/29/15 5:03:35.000 PM kernel[0]: FakePCIID v1.0 starting.

then eventually

9/29/15 5:05:25.000 PM kernel[0]: considerRebuildOfPrelinkedKernel org.rehabman.driver.FakePCIID triggered rebuild

Thanks again!
