Going to the original Insanelymac thread where the intelmausiethernet kext was presented, (
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/304235-intelmausiethernetkext-for-intel-onboard-lan/), in "known issues", the OP states that for 100 series boards and skylake CPUs the SSDT has to be patched as described in:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/to...xt-for-intel-onboard-lan/page-26#entry2244297
Now, I dont know if this applies to our motherborard (I think it does) or if wildwillow already did it. Mieze (the OP in insanelymac) says there:"Skylake users which are experiencing random connection dropouts should patch their SSDT as this is due to a power management issue which causes DMA operations to fail because the maximum acceptable latency has been exceeded while the CPU was in a deep idle state. The following code has been tested with a Core i5 6600 CPU. Core i7 CPUs might need slightly modified values to work perfectly but you should give it a try. In case you still experience the problem with this patch on your i7, please let me know."
This may be a problem, because I have a 6700 CPU. Now, wildwillow, what do you think?. Should we do this?. Could you please guide us as to how we do it (in a "for dummies" guide
).
EDIT: after reading the end of that thread, it seems there is a problem with skylake and large file transfers that make the ethernet connection crash. Not solved yet, they are trying to fix the driver. Any other intel driver that would work?.
