Joni_78 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I've had an annoying problem for quite some time now, but it only happens when downloading so I've lived with it. Everytime I downloaded large files with Ethernet for example 20gb game from GOG and left the download running and came back the computer had restarted. I noticed that when Safari is downloading for a long time the computer goes to sleep and reboots. I haven't had any problems with sleep previously, only when downloading. So I noticed today you had updated the driver and gave it a try and it seems to have fixed this problem with Z270N WiFi board. I just wrote this to say thank you Mieze and maybe someone is googling the same problem and finds this helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a similar problem report form from vit9696 but I neither can reproduce the issue on my test system, nor do I have a conclusive explanation for it. Instead of that I noticed a strange behavior of the power LED during sleep on my test machine. Although the system seems to sleep and wake properly, the power LED stays on in sleep state which indicates, that the machine doesn't manage to complete the transition to sleep state (S3) completely. This never happened before updating to Mojave and it indicates that there is a general power management issue, which may also be related to the crash. Anyway, it would be helpful if you could provide me a kernel panic report of the machine showing the incident? Are you using Gigabit Ethernet for your LAN? How fast is your internet connection? I also attach the prebuilt binary (requires Mojave) to this post so that anybody interested in testing version 2.5.0d0 of the driver or having the same problem can try it too. It should also fix the no network after wakeup issue that some users with LM-versions of the NIC reported in the past, as it doesn't release control of the chip during sleep anymore Mieze IntelMausiEthernet-V2.5.0d0.zip Edited December 3, 2018 by Mieze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you PM me email address where I could send these files? On the Zip I added kernel log (2.4.0 debug version), KP file and screenshot of Ethernet. On the kernel log 4.12.2018: 17:04 Restart 17:06 Sleep/Wake 17:07 Started the download 17:25 Monitor shuts down when computer goes or tries to go to sleep and then restarts. I haven't had that sort of problems with power led. Connection is 250Mbit/s. File was about 23Gb and download speed about 11Mb/s. Don't know if it was just GOG having a temporary hiccup but with the 2.5.0 I compiled I got around 20Mb/s about an hour ago.

Mieze Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 First of all, if you don't know how to clean the system caches of your Mac OS version, ask Google. Second, there is no driver problem with static IP addresses because address handling is far beyond the scope of a driver. The driver handles packets, nothing more and nothing less. In case it continues to crash, fix your system. Mieze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.H Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) First booting into osx, open terminal and enter the following command. sudo kextcache -i / press enter then enter your password if required. That should clean your cache. Edited December 19, 2018 by p.H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorsager Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 @millusions i experience the same problems. Crash reports looks identical. Not nearly as often as you. It can go weeks without a problem. But I use dchp, and still get the problem, so like @Mieze says; Its not a problem of static ip vs dchp. However i also use a schedule to sleep. So that we do have in common. I could think it is somehow related to power management. Kext version: 2.4.1d1 OS: Mojave 10.14.2 motherboard: asus rog strix z370-g Hope you have some suggestions @Mieze ? I can obviously supply crash reports, if needed, but they look identical to those of @millusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daylight54 Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi, please excuse my lack of knowledge since this is all new to me. When I go and look at the system report (brand new MacBook Pro 13") the kext listed under the ethernet cards section is /System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBECM.kext. Does this mean I cannot use this driver? I am having the problem where it says my cable is not plugged in after sleep. Thanks for your help!

For example, if I go to fast.com after rebooting my Mac, it will jump up to an OK 25Mbps. If I try to run the test again, it will go as high a few Kbps and then fail to complete altogether. Any test is the same—a download starts fast and then stalls, a Youtube video starts playing, then stalls. This stalling will continue until I restart the system altogether. Once I restart the system, it starts over the exact same. I've tried installing the IntelMausiEthernet.kext to the EFI partition as well as to the L/E path with the same result. This happens for both internet and local network activity. I've tried reinstalling, verifying that the IntelMausiEthernet kext is installed, verified that the correct hardware is present in the system report, and verified that the internet works without issue from the BIOS (downloaded firmware update without issue). I've went through the BIOS settings and disabled/enabled items based on the feedback through this mega-thread. I'm not really sure what to try next. Thanks in advance.

Mieze Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 If the problem is limited to a certain service, a driver error can be ruled out. At first glance looks more like a firewall or routing related issue. Is MSS clamping configured properly? What about the firewall rules? Are all required ports accessible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazlehoff Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 no firewall turned on. works fine on windows but not OSX so not a router issue. where do i set MSS on OSX? Google just has windows links. no specific ports turned off, again, works fine on windows, not on mac. Gatekeeper disabled, Wow and Battle.net added to accessability, what im guessing is going on is the same thing that was described on a previous page (Here), where downloading large files craps out the connection... but the fix file you listed was Mojave only. im running High sierra.

Kazlehoff Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Hey again, pretty much certian that what i was mentioning in my previous message is whats happening. files will download for a few min, then stall, then start again. would compiling 2.5.0d0 for high sierra potentially fix this?

Kazlehoff Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I compiled the 2.5.0d0 listed on Github, compiled under High Sierra, and installed. and now i have no internet connection at all. (copied kext into /l/e, sudo kextcace -i /, delete connections under prefpane, reboot) and even more strangely, after reinstalling the one i had that WAS working, i still can not get ethernet back up and running without reinstalling OSX completely from Ground up. im pretty confused.

Hi I don't understand why you've compiled v2.5.0d0 from source. A zip file is posted on this thread. Few questions: Do you install Clover UEFI/ESP? If yes, install 2.5.0d0 in EFI/CLOVER/Kexts/Other instead of L/E Uninstall 2.5.0d0 in L/E and repair permissions (you can also rebuild cache...) with KCPM Utility Pro: Here Edited February 25, 2019 by Matgen84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mieze Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 @Matgen84 You've probably got a messed up system which prevents the driver to be linked properly against IONetworking. kext. In order to resolve the issue, clean the system caches (this is not the same as the kernel cache, use the search function to find out how to do this) and, after that, recreate the kernel cache.

FWIW, I was able to compile 2.5.0d0 with Xcode 9.x for usage on High Sierra. Make sure the target is 10.13, not 10.14. I believe the ZIP posted earlier in the thread is for Mojave only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mieze Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Correct! The binary I posted is for Mojave but you may build it for High Sierra too, provided you've changed the deployment target to 10.13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastrychef Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hello, @Mieze. First, thank you very much for IntelMausiEthernet and for the patch for AQC107. Both have helped me a lot. Secondly, I have been using IntelMausiEthernet 2.5.0d for a few weeks and just realized that "Wake for network access" doesn't work with 2.5.0d. Reverting back to 2.4.0 and it works perfectly. Again, thanks. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
