Ethernet 10.13 Code May Not

Please be aware in advance that any question about the content and source code may not be answered, unfortunately.

Only small packets are copied on reception because creating a copy is more efficient than allocating a new buffer.

The RTL8111B8168B chips have been reported to work since version 1.0.2 too.

Include the log data when asking for support or giving feedback.

You might want to disable Network Boot and the UEFI Network Stack as these can interfere with the driver.

Carefully examine the data for any unusual activity like a high number of packets with bad IP header checksums, etc.

Although Ethernet is an IEEE standard different implementations may show different behavior causing incompatibilities.

In case you are having trouble try a different switch or a different cable.

Well, before you start complaining about bugs after you upgraded macOS and ask me to publish a driver update, you should first try to resolve the issue on your own by cleaning the system caches.

Ethernet 10.13 Drivers Avoid This

As the driver uses macOSs private network driver interface, which is supposed to be used by Apple provided drivers only, you might run into problems after an OS update because the linker may fail to recognize that IONetworking.kext has been updated and that the driver needs to be linked against the new version (Apple provided drivers avoid this problem because they are always updated together with IONetworking.kext).

As a result, the linking process produces garbage and the driver may call arbitrary code when trying to call functions from IONetworking.kext.

This usually results in unpredicted behavior or a kernel panic.

In order to recover from such a situation, you should clean the System Caches forcing the linker to recreate its caches.

My tests indicate that Apples Broadcom driver shows the same behavior with those configurations.

Obviously its a more general problem that is not limited to my driver.

In case you are affected, please upgrade your hardware or find an alternative solution because I have no plans for a workaround.
