Rev 1.1 compatibility

[bxc0843]

Has anyone had any success with the Z77-DS3H (Rev 1.1) in terms of getting ethernet/iCloud working? It seems the only was to get iCloud to work is with the built in ethernet. After much research I'm finding that the new Rev 1.1 doesnt have a supported kext for ethernet. Therefore, no built in ethernet, no icloud access. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have the same mobo and am having no success with booting using hdmi.
I believe you are correct in saying that iCould will have problems without onboard Ethernet. However insanelymac forums has just ported the latest driver for the onboard ethernet(realtek 8161), although it's still experimental.
However there are ways. I have not test this, but it is supposed to work.
You can buy a pci-e Ethernet card to use iCould with. Specifically: http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-U12-41388-Pci-e-Ethernet-Card/dp/B004WCTHSS?ie=UTF8&tag=tonymacx86com-20
This should be compatible with the realtek ethernet in multibeast so I heard. But frankencat used hnaks, RealTek, and maoj's in his build here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...16gb-ram-geforce-gt-610-pci-e-ethernet-2.html


Let me know if you have any luck with this build, I am trying a build with these specs, I have been working on this for about two weeks with no avail.

sup bxc0843,
I got my hack to work by disabling Vt-d in my bios. That solved my boot problem.

I've decided to try the experimental kext from: http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=1367&act=down&actionhash=guest
If that fails, I will get this usb to ethernet adapter: Amazon.com: I/O Crest SY-ADA24005 USB 2.0 Ethernet Adapter: Computers & Accessories

I'll keep you posted.
