Monterey 12.3 Update Caused Aquantia 107 to Fail

[nazrm]

My ASUS XG-C100c stopped working when updating to 12.3 (blackscreens, kernel panics). It has an Aquantia 107 chipset. It needed a driver patch before, probably needs a new patch for 12.3.

Can't see my 10GBe add-in Ethernet card with Aquantia 107 chipset on Z390

Fixed here but it disables the wifi card https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...hernet-for-big-sur.305261/page-8#post-2313692

@nazrm @rankrotten
Beta OpenCore 0.8.0 build 41882d9 and newer have a new Quirk (ForceAquantiaEthernet) for Aquantia 107.

From developers notes:

"This option enables Aquantia AQtion AQC-107s based 10GbE network cards support, which used to work natively before macOS 10.15.4. When this option is enabled, DisableIoMapper must be disabled and VT-d must be enabled in BIOS. Otherwise, network cards will not function correctly."

Setting DisableIOMapper = false disables my backplate USBs

@Thireus
I dont' have Aquantia. I only posted what I read in OpenCore.
Did you try network with DisableIOMapper=true and OpenCore 0.8.0?

DisableIOMapper=true brings back USB but breaks the ForceAquantiaEthernet patch.

Problem solved. Was due to a faulty BIOS. I was on BIOS 1603 (pulled out from the download page). As soon as I upgraded to 3601 everything worked. Had to map Bluetooth which I had missing from my USB Map (HS11, 255).

I can confirm that DisableIOMapper=false + ForceAquantiaEthernet quirck works great.
