Hi
@c+r
I'm fully aware of that MartinLo:s package is designed for max Monterey 12.7.x and that's why I use OCLP 1.3.0 for Ventura and Sonoma. Maybe I could have been a little clearer with that in my post. The point with my post was to inform that using the AppleEthernetAbuantiaAqtion.kext provided in MartinLo:s package didn't solve the problem with self assigned ip for my AQC107-B0 Nic but the two patches from CaseySJ, provided in the attached config.plist in my earlier post did. As other people in this thread seems to have the same problem I thought it could be a good idea to share this information. Is that a problem for you? Lastly I can guarantee you that my card is correctly configured and installed.
this behavior sounds familiar … it replicates what i experienced
before installing jazzny's kext and martin's added config plist. i would get a green light for the 10G connection, but system information would show that the 10G driver wasn't active. the screenshots of the show that apple's own
Aquantia driver is loaded and not jazzzny's
Abuantia.
i never had the problem with self-assigned IPs because i use manual IPv4 adresses in my LAN. you must of course assign the same IPv4 addresses to the 10G switch or router…
could this be a cache issue? try properly resetting the NVRAM (three chimes to make sure all the garbage is collected and removed).
in my case it also helped that i deleted all existing network settings from the system prefs and set up two new ones from scratch – one for 10G LAN only, and one for 10G and WLAN combined.
on 12.7.x, and with Martin Lo's 0.9.7 package (with jazzzny's kext), the system information should show the
Abuantia driver loaded, not apple's
Aquantia.
(i need to add that - since i'm using Sonnett's 10G solo PCIe card and not a McFiver – my card sits in PCIe slot 3 whereas (IIRC) the McFiver needs slot 2 for the full x16 BW. but that shouldn't matter either because Lance confirmed that Martin Lo's .9.7 package also works with a McFiver in slot 1 or 2.)
so my suggestion would be to first make sure the Abuantia driver is loaded and not the Aquantia, then delete all network settings and create just one LAN connection (no WLAN or 1G cable installed/connected) with a manual IPv4 address, 10G full duplex and jumbo frames, assign the same manual address to your switch/router, then do a full NVRAM reset to your MP and a restart of your router/switch.
as per my last post: this procedure is only valid for macOS 12.7.x and Martin Lo's .9.7 OC package. but i can assure you that it works.
