E7470 Ethernet Unreliable

[jblparisi]

Hello I am currently running a e7470, with latest High Sierra following Jake Lo guide and + updated ACPI patched files from another post which I am very grateful for.

 

I have gotten down to one last minor annoying issue and that is with Ethernet.

 

It does work most of the time when you plug in the ethernet cable at first, but if I disconnect and connect it again I can replicate it being stuck on bouncing back between unplugged and no connection status. This is with latest rehab kext that I found on one of the links on the main guide.

 

The only way to fix it it putting the machine to sleep and when awoke it works again, rebooting also bring it back online.

 

Any help is appreciated. Ty

You could try AppleIntelE1000e.kext, see if it works better.

or you could try installing to /L/E instead

No luck. AppleIntelE1000 works on boot but never fully a wakes from sleep.

 

I went back to Intel Maus driver and this is what I have on logs when it no longer works apparently, a bunch of Tx stalled:
