Interesting. Can you confirm your LAN port is working?

Yeah, the LAN port is working perfectly. Do you have "Wake for Network Access" option in Ventura?

I've this one on my Macbook (Ventura), I haven't on hack.

Glad that I'm not alone. It would be great to have more confirmation whether this is common to MSI boards.

Another strange behaviour is when I boot to Ventura Recovery and try to reinstall macOS, I would get a message saying "Internet connection is required to install macOS". Seems Recovery couldn't detect my Ethernet and this may be related to the missing option above. However, if I boot to Monterey Recovery, I can reinstall macOS without any problem.

I've tried to enable WiFi and the "Wake for Network Access" option appeared. But this only relates to WiFi and and Ethernet port LED is still off when sleep. Anyway, waking via WiFi interface doesn't work also.

Hello;

I'm getting "1 alert" in About menu like this.

When I click on "About" I got "!" in memory

Spoiler: Pic

I suspected that this may the culprit. But when I click on that "!"

Spoiler: Pic

It seem like there is nothing wrong about the memory mapping.

Any ideas?

That is not an exclamation-mark signifying anything is wrong at all. That's an "i" for "Information".

However maybe I'm misunderstanding and @NorthAmTransAm can help you.

@UtterDisbelief If the "I" meant something is wrong we'd be toast.

So memory mapping...I did this awhile back just to see if I could and it was a mess! I feel like the slots reassign them randomly as well on each boot. Anyway, your best best is to just clear that and use RestrictEvents.kext.

I'll need to do some digging. This one is weird.

This happens when we use product name MacPro7,1 without RestrictEvents.

But once we see “1 alert” next to About this Mac, we haven’t found a way to remove it other than by reinstalling macOS with either (a) custom memory mapping specified in config.plist or (b) RestrictEvents.kext added and enabled. Then we have to reinstall our apps and manually transfer all our files to the new system. If we use Migration Assistant, the “1 alert” message comes back.

If anyone has found a way to clear that alert message without doing a fresh install, please let us know.

Both the missing "Wake for Network Access" and no Internet connection when booting to recovery are fixed. These 2 problems are related and caused by the AppleEthernetE1000 driver on I225-V. I copied the AppleIntelI210Ethernet.kext from Monterey to EFI/OC/Kexts folder and manually loaded it in config.plist. Also needed to add e1000=0 to boot-args in order to disable the default AppleEthernetE1000 driver being used. After these 2 changes, the "Wake for Network Access" option is now visible and I am also able to access Internet while booting Recovery. All these only application to Ventura. Monterey doesn't has these issues.

For those that use AppleEthernetE1000 driver with I225-V and still see the the "Wake for Network Access" option, it's because you've loaded WiFi driver or have other network interfaces. If you disable the WiFi driver from config.plist, the option will disappear.
