Z490 & Z590 - Will Z590 ever have macOS Support ?

[CaseySJ]

Any idea how I could get my I225V Ethernet working again, now that I've upgraded to Ventura 13.0? Ethernet was working fine under Monterey; all I had to do was select "Full-Duplex" in Network>Hardware tab to get my mobo's I225V ports working. But neither that setting (nor any others under Hardware) work for me any more under Ventura

Intel I-225V Ethernet port is still natively supported in Ventura. I believe it's driven by IOUserEthernet instead of the former AppleIntelI210Ethernet, which no longer exists.

No device properties or boot arguments are necessary as long as its firmware is Rev 003 or newer. Here's a screenshot from my Asus ROG Strix Z690-i Gaming system. This is a mini-ITX board with Alder Lake i5-12600K and Ventura:

If your config.plist contains Device Properties and/or Boot Arguments for I-225V, disable them and reboot. Does the port still fail to work?

My Ethernet info certainly matches yours (screenshot attached). But when I removed the Device Property for I225V from config.plist, my Hack hangs on boot. I also tried disabling it instead of removing it from config.plist (I *think* I did that correctly with a # hash in front of the Device entry, see screenshot). My Hack does boot with the # inserted but I've still got no Ethernet working under Ventura. I don't use any boot args relative to Ethernet (highlighted in blue in screenshot).

Screenshot 1 shows that the i225-v is enabled and driver is attached.

Is AppleVTD enabled?

Without this, the port may not establish a connection when an Ethernet wire is plugged in.

No, I've never used AppleVTD, from what I can tell on here that's some sort of ACPI thing (sorry for my ignorance) that til now I haven't needed to explore. In any event I just successfully tried the I225-V_Fix mentioned in post #29 here, involving grabbing the old Apple kext from Monterey and using the SSDT-I225.aml. That worked to bring back my Ethernet under Ventura and I was able to keep my Device Properties ethernet configured in config.plist, without which my Hack was hanging on boot. So I think I'm good unless there's some definite advantage in going the AppleVTD route?

@CaseySJ and @askinner97 any updates to the TB4 functionality that I need to be aware of, I'd prefer to use Logix X
