Z800MAC Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 In this thread, I found a discussion about using Drogo. Using Drobo is easy. You can get started even with one hard drive installed. But with this configuration, you will not get any data protection. To protect the product, developers use encoding such as HASP and there are many ways to emulate a key for hardware, for example https://lostdongle.com Does anyone here understand how this works?

Riley Freeman Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 As 2.5.0d14 has been working fine here on Sierra I built a copy targetting Yosemite to run on my Z68. That has been running 2.2.0 up until now. Initial impressions are that it's working fine but I'm curious if Yosemite will see any benefits in running 2.5.0 over 2.2.0? I guess there's the improved interrupt throttling code at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there's the improved interrupt throttling code at least. I don't think that there will be any benefit because the new version is optimized for Mojave. As power management has a significant influence interrupt latency, it may impact network driver performance as well. That's the reason why I have to run speed tests and rework interrupt throttling code whenever Apple changes power management. After all, in most cases the impact of changes in power management on network performance aren't dramatic. We are talking about 5% but if you want to achieve results which are near the limits of gigabit ethernet, it's inevitable to go through these steps of optimization with every major release of macOS.

I've seen that some of your commits were also pulled into that new repo. I'm currently using your latest debug driver, as it works great with 10.14.6 but I was wondering which you recommend to use going forward? Will the acidanthera version be the one to use going forward? Well, I checked his changes and besides support for kernel debugging there is nothing useful in it. vit9696 and I, we had a discussion about a kernel panic he encountered while using IntelMausiEthernet.kext some time ago and he wanted to convince me that there is a bug in the driver. Tracing back the call chain in the kernel panic report he sent me, I finally came to the conclusion that it was a linker error, although he insisted on his point of view. Maybe that's one of the reasons why he forked. For a detailed explanation of the problem and how to avoid it (clean system caches), please see the section about kernel panics in post #1 of this thread. As already, mentioned, the only valuable addition is support for kernel debugging. If you need it, his fork is the way to go. Otherwise there is not much reason to use it. I may integrate support for kernel debugging at some point of time in the future but as most users don't need it, it's a low priority feature for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, I'll continue to use your version of the kext, considering you're the maintainer. Now that I have your attention, do you have any plans to cut an official release of 2.5.0? I'm using 2.5.0d14 and it's working perfectly fine on 2 of my Mojave hacks. I'd say it's stable enough to promote to a full release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog2k Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Hi Everybody, First time poster here, but I need your assistance. So I have updated my hackintosh, which is an Intel NUC8i7BEH with 32Gb RAM and 1Tb Samsung 860 EVO SATA SSD, to MacOS Catalina recently. The update went smooth except for the fact that my Ethernet became super unreliable. I do have ethernet connectivity but the performance drops sometimes to a level where browsing becomes impossible.. I did not had such issues on MacOS Mojave. I have tried numerous suggestions by all kinds of forums (reddit, tonymac,..) like changing a bios setting, updating a clover setting (FixedRegions in ACPI) but none of them fixed the issue. The only thing that gives me a stable ethernet connection is go System Preferences > Network > Ethernet > Advanced > Hardware and change the setting from Automatic to Manual and lower the speed to 100BaseTX from 1000BaseT, which is absurd in this day and age. So I hope I can find some help here! Looking forward to it (I don't have Wi-Fi on my NUC for now, so it's kinda annoying..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also keep in mind that GB ethernet performance depends on power management to work properly and at first glance, your problem makes me think about PM. In any case, please check your kernel logs first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M34nM4chin3 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Tried to compile the kext from: https://github.com/Mieze/IntelMausiEthernet (5ab7f9d). Succesfully compiled the .kext but after rebooting no Internet connection anymore. Tried 2.4.0 and that one worked.. anything wrong with 2.5.0? I've attached the compiled .kext (and yes - I've selected 10.8 as base SDK and deployment target). IntelMausiEthernet.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dptntkfkd Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Hi, I'm not too technologically inclined, but I wanted to ask for a little help... I have a Intel i217-LM on my device, which I just installed Mojave on. I couldn't get the internet working, so I downloaded your prebuilt binary for 10.11 and above, copied the "IntelMausiEthernet.kext" file on to my desktop along with Kext Beast. I ran Kext Beast and chose Library-Extensions as the install folder. Afterwards, I saw that the IntelMausiEthernet.kext was placed into the folder. I rebooted, but I am still unable to get internet connection. I would appreciate any help. Thank you Edited October 20, 2019 by dptntkfkd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
