Hello everyone! I'm here to check with you something. I'm still with Monterey, and I'm keeping it for now. I'll update to Ventura later.

Regarding Monterey: I have a Fenvi which works well but I would also like to activate gigabit Ethernet built into the mobo. Does it work well, and do I need anything in particular? 2nd question for sleep, should I do something to make it work better?

I haven't updated anything and haven't changed kext either since the beginning with the OpenCore 0.8.0 EFI from @NorthAmTransAm on April 19, 2022... sorry this is my first hackintosh, and I'm not a pro in this area!

!

A few post back I've got an OC086 EFI you should try (and adjust for your GPU and add serial). As for the gigabit Ethernet, you should check out @CaseySJ's z690 build as I believe that info is there. Report back with your findings!

First things first, thats' a cool feature for that drive. It can work over Thunderbolt over USB.

Do you have AppleVTD in IOReg?

This might simply not work without a proper Thunderbolt Bus (flashed card).

OK. Thank you. I was so stressed about breaking something. I only enabled Ethernet in the BIOS, and it was recognized immediately.

Regarding sleep, which option is better in the BIOS? Manage by: BIOS? Or by OS?

Sleep is a bit of an issue at the moment! I plan to spend some more time on it next week myself. All I remember at the moment is that if you disable fTPM2.0 then you might be able to get repeated sleeps using the power button. Otherwise, we only get one sleep and the second sleep cycle fails and might require a power pull to restart.

I can suspend repeatedly with no problem with this setup on Monterey.

bios:
Fastboot: off
taken over by: OS
ErP Ready: off
Secure Boot: off

Not only with the button because, if I leave the option resumed by BIOS, it works with USB resume but seems less stable...
With the button and this config, it always wakes up flawlessly.
