Check BIOS, disable Legacy Option ROMs if it's enabled.

So does it shows in sysInfo?

 

Hi,

Just checked, and Legacy option ROM is disabled in BIOS.

And since I was there, I also checked, but the network card is enabled in BIOS.

The network adapter does not show in sys info.

Will do right away.

What might that built-in serial port be?

There is no modem / serial port in this little box of mine....

 

Nah, it's a no go.

Maybe I will just install Sierra and see.

This is the first network card that I cannot get to work.

Strange.

I can only add VPN, PPoE etc. Not this network card. Yep. Strange it is :-)

 

Same when I install Sierra 10.12.6

Started dropping SSDTs and DSDT.

DSDT.aml is needed as well as SSDT-1 to boot, and the network does not show up.

All other SSDTs seem to have no effect - tried both configs found in this thread.

remove RealtekRTL8100 and replace with this one

 

Thank you Jake for your efforts!

It still does not work with Sierra, but I will try with High Sierra tomorrow. Or maybe a bit later... it's Christmas :-)

Again, thank you very much for your efforts and let me wish you a Merry Christmas!

Till later!
