As you can see here the Ethernet card for this MoBo can be now used without a kext, just a simple kernel patch

I deleted the kext, and deleted from config.plist, now its clean under Kernel>Patch

@SchmockLord can you check if this one should be included as well?

[SchmockLord]

@g3d This is just another way of getting the i225-V supported. But: This only works for people with Big Sur 11.3 or newer. And in the past there were always people that use an older macOS. And as soon as I applied fixes like this those people are raising issues like "I225-V not working with your current release". And I try to avoid that. The IntelMausiEthernet.kext should be working for older and newer macOS versions.

@SchmockLord should we close it then?

Exactly... Everyone understands that "Natively Supported" is better but unless this specific Kext (Mausi) is causing an issue then the preferred way is the Kext which supports a lot of macOS Versions.
