Hey all, read about a cool Swift tool for downloading full macOS installers. It only provides Big Sur versions, but it has all of them and is still pretty cool. Check it out here: https://scriptingosx.com/2021/06/download-full-installer/

Do you have DMAC device under IOReg ?

I do not have that in my IOReg when the Antelope is connected.

Too bad the USB Type A ports stopped working on the GA-Z170X. You win some, you lose some. Alternatives are USB-C hub with Type A ports, Thunderbolt dock, or PCIe card.

But I suspect reliability of remote connection is going to be more important.

I am going to try to remap the USB ports today when I have time yet again, and see if that gets them to be recognized when DisableIOMapper is turned off. If anyone has any insights to the USB-A ports being disabled that would be much appreciated!

Update:
After trying out different network configurations (swapping ethernet ports, both hotswapping and after reboots), it seems that when the Antelope Control Panel is in remote mode:
- On another Mac machine: it disconnects in 2 minutes or less.
- On iOS: the remote control panel application works 100% of the time.

Hi @CaseySJ

@qthegaijin doesn't have DMAC device on IOREG. Like this device refer to DMAController, Could you verify if you have this one ? And ask for someone have Network issue with AppleVTD enabled, if this device appear ?

DMAC device is not dependant on plugged peripherals. This one appear by SSDT-DMAC and look like this, for Z390 Designare :

I have DMAC and like you know I tried. Ethernet and wifi not connected. But with genuine bios. Don't know with your modded bios. About DMAC and other feature here: https://github.com/5T33Z0/OC-Little-Translated

I just followed the isntructions on the OC-Little-Translated for SSDT-DMAC, searched DSDT etc, but when added to my config nothing loads in ioreg still, must need different settings in the SSDT for this mobo possibly?

On Aorus Master, GC-Titan Ridge (Patched NVM33) I do not get DMAC in either scenario:

1. VT-D enabled, Removed dart=0, and unchecked DisableIOMapper-->Result-Fenvi and built-in network do not work, but Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Adapter does work.

2. VT-D disabled, dart=0, and checked DisableIOMapper-->Result-Fenvi and built-in network do work, but Apple Thunderbolt to Gigabit Adapter does not work.

On my fully working Z390 Designare with AppleVTD, there is no DMAC device.
