FakePCIID_BCM57XXX

Not working on High Sierra. I guess it's because the AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext doesn't exist in the S/L/E folder.

The kext is still present in 10.13.

Oh you are right. No idea what they changed in High Sierra then. I'm back on Sierra 10.12.6 and it's working perfectly.

I confirm this issue. I reinstall to 10.13.1 and my ethernet not working anymore.
I installed the latest version of this kext yesterday.

My laptop is Acer V3-571, using BCM57785.

Same problem on my Asrock Z77E-ITX.
Either Networkcard fix won't be injected or MAC is 00:01:02:03:04:05.
As described here the problem seems to be related to the ionetworkfamily.kext
Hope this helps to track down the issue.

Any chance that this issue will be fixed in the near future? Thanks in advance.

I got the same issue with High Sierra. However with a fresh installation of OS X and a bare minimum of drivers selected at MultiBeast, this Kext seems to work when installed at first (Using KextBeast to (Library/Extensions). However after a restart it doesn't pick up the connection.

I thought it could be one of the Clover injected kexts - but booting without any injected kexts doesn't seems to fix it. But maybe it can help pinpoint what is wrong

I just found out if I turn off the computer by holding down the power button and start it again it works ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. A normal shutdown or restart makes the Kext unusable.

I have High Sierra and fakepcii works on the first release .. but if I update High Sierra it no longer works

[classified]
