Hi everyone,
I've just completed my first Hackintosh build using a new old-stock H61 motherboard with on-board Realtek LAN, a Core i7 2600K and macOS Sierra 10.12.6. I followed the September 2017 installation instructions, using the latest UniBeast and MultiBeast downloads and the Install macOS Sierra application from my MacBook Pro. After the installation I used MultiBeast to set up the Realtek Audio and LAN, the Intel HD 3000 graphics and Sandy Bridge Core i7 SSDT. Immediately after running MultiBeast I noticed that the LAN was working but after rebooting without the USB stick it didn't.
Investigating, I saw that Audio and HD 3000 graphics acceleration were both working but I discovered that there was a permissions issue with the RealtekRTL8111.kext which, it turned out, was owned by my user when it ought to have been owned by root. Had I been running an older version of the OS I would have used Disk Utility to repair permissions but Sierra doesn't offer that option so I opened Terminal and typed:
After rebooting I had Ethernet
