[SOLVED] network shutting down in asus z170 deluxe

[fjf]

I have network problem. I am doing a backup to amazon drive with arq, uploading at 10-15MB/s, and after some time the ethernet connexion crashes (MAC OS says "not connected", with the red dot in ethernet) and I am forced to reboot. I upgraded the BIOS to the last version (1902), but it does not help. Can anything be done to make the NIC more stable?.

I performed the installation as explained in: http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/w...0-deluxe-i5-6600k-gtx970-ssc-32gb-ram.188027/

The mobo has an intel NIC (Intel® I219V, 1 x Gigabit LAN Controller(s); Intel® I211-AT, 1 x Gigabit LAN) and I am using:

I'll answer myself: the last version of the intelmausiethernet kext (V.2.2.0d4) seems to work and be stable:

I've uploaded near 500GB so far and ethernet is still working. Yay!!!.

How did you install the updated kext? Did you have to delete the older version first?

I did delete the older kext (in Library/Extensions) and installed the new one with kextbeast, then reboot. Still working fine.
