Hey Grasshopper, hope it works :)

Hey, sadly no. With your aml file the IOReg Name changed to ethernet, but the card is still not showing up under network, kext isnt loading


sudo kextstat | grep AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion

Executing: /usr/bin/kmutil showloaded
No variant specified, falling back to release

did 2 nvmram resets in opencore

Changing to AMD (hence the "exotic" ACPI paths) and trying Monterey may be too much change in one go…
"ETH0" or "ETH1" is not the issue: Any legal ACPI name would do, and _SB.PCI0.GPP2.PT02.PT24.ETH0 is not the same as ETH0 in another path. (You may try "ERSR" or any other mangling of "erasor2010" to four characters if you want ;) )
Maybe a full copy of your IOReg could help understand what's going on?

Thank you for the file bit it didnt work, after the first reboot with NVMRAM reset nothing changed, than i changed eth0 to eth1 in the aml file because my onboard ethernet already was eth0, after that it changed to 06:00.0 1D6A 07B1 1043 874A like written in post #5 but the card still dont show up

@milksjeek here is the IOReg Name

/PCI0@0/GPP2@1,3/PT02@0,2/PT24@4/ETH1@0

Your string is wrong, disable/remove quantia.aml and disable kernel patches, give me the hackintool string -> PCIe again.
should be: "vendor 0x1D6A", "device 0x00B1", Device Name AQC 100..." need the IOReg Name

Hi, the quanta.aml worked, Vendor Device 0x1D6A 0x7B1 ACQ107 and therefore is the quantia kext loaded it self

kextstat | grep AppleEthernetAquantiaAqtion

As a test swap your video card and network card and make a new .aml file, I saw your board layout slots PCIe 2.0 and 3.0 only as test. or a change to iMac Pro(2017) don't know if that's possible with AMD

Hi, i switched back to the aml file from etorix and changed to iMacPro, kext is loaded and vendor and device ids changed to 0x1D6A and 0x07B1 but the card is not showing up like bevor.

Switching PCIE Slots is not possible, not enough space in the case
 
For the ASUS XG-C100F, NO SSDT is needed - just a kernel-patch and the aquantia kernel-quirk with one entry in the device-properties of the card and it works....ok properly configured AppleVTD is a prerequisite.

As always, 'AAPL,slot name' has only a cosmetic effect...the other entry does the trick.

Thanks for your info!! I got further then before…
Unfortunately, after I copied everything from your plist (with my PCIe settings) my card is still not working.
Driver is loaded, AppleVTD is configured, but the card is showing Cable Unplugged!
If I didn’t try and confirm that the cable works with Asus card (in Windows and ESXi and Truenas) as well as the other card that it is connected to, I would blame the cable… Butt!

Also, the other machine (Truenas server) shows Interface LINK STATE UP!

Hope you have an idea… really need this to work!
Thanks again!

Info for someone…

After the situation in my last message all that was needed was a reboot with cable plugged in. The it showed that the cable was connected! I thought that the problem was solved.

Unfortunately I’m experiencing hard locks after connecting or disconnecting the cable.

This works.

I was wondering, since the kext advertises suport for pci1d6a,80b1 (AQC100S) why won't the kext load only by providing correct compatible string and device-id for it? AQC100 and AQC100S have same capabilities according to linux driver.

Also devices like https://www.qnap.com/en/product/qna-t310g1s will work out of the box (not sure if it has the S version)

I also brought it up using compatible string of pci1d6a,80b1 and patch 81F9B180 0000 -> 81F9B100 0000
Does this mean configRead16 will bypass device-id property? That's why we need binary patch?
