Algunas especificaciones pueden ayudar.  Actualice su firma con información de hardware para que sepamos de qué estamos hablando. Además, si estoy leyendo esto correctamente, está utilizando la versión 2.3.0d7 de este kext. Véase más arriba. Hay 2.3.0d10. Vea si todavía ocurre con ese.

 

Y, si puede, también probaría la versión estable anterior 2.2.2 solo para comparar. A ver si hay alguna diferencia. ¿Y qué estás usando para descargar? El navegador en sí? Safari / Chrome? ¿O alguna otra aplicación?

 

Además, solo para confirmar, ¿su sueño / vigilia funciona correctamente si no hay ninguna descarga en curso?

good with version 2.3.0d7 sleep / wake works perfectly when there are no downloads in progress. the sleep / wake problem occurs with chrome and also with applications that require a download that takes too long. for example logic pro x that the library weighs about 70 gbs approximately, try version 2.3.0d10 and my laptop is without network functions. then I go back to version 2.3.0d7. I am using an ACER Nitro 5 AN515-52 series notebook. model (N17C1), I will test the stable version 2.2.2. let's see what happens, thank you very much.

Aquí está la versión 2.3.0d10 de RealtekRTL8111.kext en la que modifiqué la selección de medios para resolver problemas con la velocidad de gigabits y la estabilidad de conexión informada por algunos usuarios en el pasado. En caso de que haya sido afectado, es posible que desee probar este.

 

Adjunté un binario precompilado que ha sido probado en Catalina y Mojave.

 

Buena suerte de prueba!

@MiezeHi Mieze a pleasure to greet you, I have tried version 2.3.0d7, 2.3.0d10 (this version leaves my laptop without network functions so I returned to version 2.3.0d7), I also tested the stable version 2.2.2 and the bug What I have detected in the versions (2.3.0d7 and 2.2.2) is that when the pc enters sleep / wake mode and there is an internet download in progress either in chrome or any other app, it automatically restarts. I attach the log of the error. I use an ACER Nitro 5 AN515-52 series model (N17C1) laptop, any help I would really appreciate, thanks.

Dear Mieze,

Tried your new d10 driver, which unfortunately does not resolve the TX stalled, lost interrupt issue

There is one method which kills the network instantly... If I run speedtest on my new upgraded 1/1gbit connection when the meter reaches above 800mbit the network connection dies instantly.

Currently I switched the driver to 100mbit and im testing, will see what happens and will report you back.

Attaching the log...

Yeah, I had a feeling this was going to be a laptop... Those are notoriously harder to get to work. Unfortunately I can't test that myself, since my only laptop is an actual MBP. And, as you can imagine, it doesn't occur with that one (tested Xcode download in Chrome, for consistency).

 

Anyway, I tested 2.3.0d10 with a download of Xcode in Safari and Chrome and switched the computer to Sleep (from the Apple menu). No issues whatsoever. Of course the download itself will be stopped, so you need to resume/restart it manually. But that's normal. But no kernel panic in my case.

So...if this is a network issue, seems to be specific to laptops in general, or that laptop in particular.

 

Question: does this issue also occur if you manually set the laptop to Sleep (from the Apple menu)? Or only when it does it automatically?

@haroldju Most likely that's a link error. Clean system caches as described in post #1 of the thread. After that, recreate the kernel cache and your issue should be resolved.

 

@ThExSenatoR First of all make sure to select a medium without flow control and EEE. Second, try another cable and another switch in order to rule out incompatibilities. Another possible reason would be a firmware issue but as there is no documentation, that would be a problem I couldn't resolve. Also ASPM turned out to be a root of much evil. I tried my best to disable it, but some platforms don't let the OS handle it and due to the lack of documentation, I'm at a loss too. If there are ASPM related settings in your UEFI setup, select a setting which allows the OS to control it.

Sadly, version 2.3.0d10 doesn’t work on my AsusH81M-E(chipset 20), tried build from source under High Sierra(this time correctly) doesn’t work, tried from given link under Catalina, also doesn’t work. Everything has been done as described in post #1, kext loads no connection. In IOReg under RTL8111 IOActiveMedium string is empty. I guess I’ll have to wait a bit more.

[Mieze]

@hardcorehenry As I haven't seen any kernel logs from you, I'm quite sure you made as mistake because the driver is known to work with that chip and there not much I have changed.

Sure thing, kernel logs from Hackintool, High Sierra with kext built from source and Catalina with your kext.

kernel_log_Catalina.rtf

[Mieze]

@hardcorehenry The driver load well in both cases but never establishes a link. Looks more like a hardware problem because the driver is known to work well with chipset 20 and I haven't changed anything which is specific to that device.

@Mieze@arsradu Hi, thanks for helping me find the solution to my problem. I want to tell you that I actually followed the steps that mieze indicated in post number 1 of this thread, install version 2.3.0d10 of the kext, which is the last version that has mieze of the driver, this was installed correctly and when connecting the ethernet cable still did not recognize the network. I continued investigating in the post that mieze had published and I noticed the incompatibility and the variants that the ethernet interface may have (connectors, cables). the only solution was to change my old network cable for a newer and ready one, it immediately recognized the network and the sleep / wake up behavior worked without problems. I wonder a little the question of the cable, since I have been using it for a long time but they are typical of the apple environment anyway. everything working correctly, thanks to you for answering for being aware of my inconvenience and really that mieze's work is very valuable and I appreciate it very much! They are the best !!!!  Thank you !!!!!!!
 

[arsradu]

You're most welcome. Glad to hear you've sorted it out.  And yes, all the credit goes to Mieze, for an amazing work.

[haroldju]

dear mieze could you provide me with information about this bug that occurs when I have bluetooth headphones connected to music, after a while without touching the equipment it goes into standby mode automatically, then it crashes and restarts. I appreciate your collaboration, thanks!

I use an ACER Nitro 5 AN515-52 series model (N17C1) laptop.

[Mieze]

@haroldju It's off-topic but your KP is most likely the result of a link error. You should clean system caches as described in post#1 of this thread. Go to /System/Library/Caches and delete all the files inside (including those in it's subdirectories) but leave the subdirectories and symbolic links untouched. After that, reboot and recreate the kernel cache.

My ethernet wil sometimesl say "no route to host", with ping.. but I can fix it with setting the speed from 1000mbps to 100 then to 1000, then it will work again.  how to fix? I am on 10.15 rtl8111 complied from github with xcode

 

thanks

 

edit: I am getting this panic, no idea why, any ideas, thanks

 

edit2: added  pci-aspm-default 0  in opencore to disable aspm I think worked.., don't know why the Info.plist existing disableaspm true is not working?

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all safe and well. @Mieze thank you once more for your continuing support to the LAN kexts and this one especially (and IntelMausiEthernet too!)

 

Would you say that RealtekRTL8111-V2.3.0d10 now qualifies for an official release from you Mieze, to be made official Debug/Release pre-built binaries, available on your Github page?

 

Anything else missing or any feedback waiting, for closing this release cycle? I was hoping for a final stable pre-built release (OK I admin I don't master Xcode, too) before macOS 10.16 Developer's build falls in your hands

Here is a first development build of version 2.3.0d5 which is now based on Realtek's Linux driver version 8.047.04. As I rewrote a lot of code there are several things to test:

• Support for new family members including the Killer E2600 (yes, it's based on Realtek silicon now).
• Link change detection and sleep/wake have been rewritten from scratch.
• Requires Mojave but should also work under Sierra or High Sierra, provided you build from source.

When giving feedback, in particular in case of a bug report, please include kernel logs as it's very important for me to know which chip version you are using (not the brand name because this is marketing stuff and useless for me). Also keep in mind that this is a development build. Although I haven't got any kernel panics during my tests, you should be prepared to recover from a kernel panic before installing this driver.

 

Use

log show --predicate "processID == 0" --debug | grep Realtek

to collect the kernel logs including everything I might need.

 

Good luck testing!

Confirmed working on macOS Catalina 10.15.5 with Killer E2600 on MSI X570 Godlike using OpenCore.

 

Danke schön Frau Müller!

@Mieze hello dear Mieze, you have worked with this model of network card (Realtek Gaming GbE Family Controller) I have this device in my new laptop, but your RTL8111 controller version d10 does not recognize it in macos. Thank you very much beforehand for your help ! Annex photo with id. device hardware.

Thanks for your awesome kext.

I've just released version 2.3.0 of the driver which is identical to 2.3.0d10 and updated the prebuilt binaries in the download section. Have fun!

Thank you @Mieze for the official release! Have a nice rest of summer, stay safe

 

MERGED POST

 

Hi again @Mieze apologies to bother, the GitHub Release page is still pointing to v2.2.2: https://github.com/Mieze/RTL8111_driver_for_OS_X/releases

Are you no longer updating the GitHub project pages?

Just to be sure that I get from YOU the official 2.3.0 release and not some other pre-built kext... there are many pre-compiled kexts in general and I prefer the official ones.

Many thanks.

All I have to do is replace the old kext with the new one? Tried this but not working at all. With 2.2.2 internet works but I have random disconnects. Gigabyte B450-S2H here.

@Mieze, version 2.3.0d10 finally works for me. All I had to do was to set up in System Preferences>Network>Advanced>Hardware:

 

Configure>Manually
Speed>100baseTX
Duplex>full-duplex
MTU>Standard (1500)

 

Thanks for your awesome kext.

Same situation.

 

Driver 2.3.0 boots normally, but when it is set to Automatically (in System Preferences>Network>Advanced>Hardware) and network is 100Mbs the result is no connection. Need to set to Manually/100baseTX and connection turns up.

No problem is observed when network is 1Gbs (Automatically and Manually works normally)

 

And there is no such problem with driver 2.2.2

 

Tested with Catalina 10.15.6 (Opencore 0.5.9) and Mojave 10.14.6 (Clover 5120)

Also need to Manually set it to 100baseTX under Mojave.

 

Have tried many times and both SLE and Other to confirm that.

 

2.3.0 d7 has no problem.

I checked the code and found no problem. It might be related to flow control or EEE. Anyway auto-negotiation doesn't always deliver the expected result. Might be a firmware issue, a hardware problem or something else. At least nothing to worry about because you can easily solve the Problem.

Thanks. It's alright. Have planned to upgrade to Big Sur in the future.
