[SOLVED] "Cable not connected or device not working" on Big Sur

[Dmitry 42]

Hello!
Somebody can help me with my problem ?
I cant start network on my Acer Veriton N4660G with OC 0.6.4.
It have RTL 8168 and Intel Wireless-AC 9560 on board.
I try RealtekRTL8111 (2.2.2 and 2.3.0. and 2.4.0), RealtekRTL8100 and Itlwm kext's for networking - but all unsuccessfuly.
I see connections, but they all have status "cable not connected or device not working". I open Hardware settings - and i can see real MAC of wifi and lan cards.
I try remove /libs../pref../sysconf../network*.plist and reboot - its too unsuccessfully.

For WI-FI:
Now i read thread "how-to-enable-intel-wifi-on-macos-clover-opencore.604" and sow Note: For itlwm, you'll need to use HeliPort as a WiFi client to connect.
So I will test it tomorrow with HeliPort.
May be you have compiled AirportItlwm.kext ? i have not Xcode for compiling.

For LAN:
When i use 8111.kext v 2.2.2 - OS boot hang.
When i use 2.3 and 2.4 - system boot - but not see network - "cable not connected or device no working"

So now i dont know how i can debug this situation. May be somebody can say me where i can see log or what i can do for this.
Or may be its not kext problem ? i dont know what i must do...help me, please!

A prebuilt kext is already available on the developer's site.

For LAN:
When i use 8111.kext v 2.2.2 - OS boot hang.
When i use 2.3 and 2.4 - system boot - but not see network - "cable not connected or device no working"

That's where releases are.

As per the Hackintool, your Ethernet Chipset is Realtek 8111/8168. You should use the following

RealtekRTL8111

RTL8111 Driver for OS X OS X open source driver for the Realtek RTL8111/8168 family *** Please note that this driver isn't maintained by Realtek! *** Due to the lack of an OS X driver that makes use of the advanced features of the Realtek...

Normally, it should work automatically, without any manual configuration unless your ISP requires it.

I test your link - system hang on booting.
But i find Mieze Thread about this kext and so that problem with LAN autodetection is only on kext up(later) than v 2.3d7.
I download v2.3d7 and its working fine!
