[fabiosun]

and this is the final result:

 

in sabrent NVME disk i Have EFI partition with opencore and OSX partition for High Sierra

All disk controllers (Nvme and sata)  passed!

[fabiosun]

As pictures above this message shows MSI trx40 Pro 10g motherboard has 2 i211 Gigabit network connection.

To activate it we have to add a kext in our EFI folder:

SmallTreeIntel82576 download from here

check if id vendor is compatible with your ethernet card with dcpimanager (download it from here)

 

in my case you can se 1539 value.

 

 

As you can verify under "Supported device" in above pictures

 

reboot your OSX and you have now your two Gigabit Ethernet available!

Linux Kernel for Proxmox projects

Update 29/06/2020

new kernel release in proxmox distribution site

With these kernel you can avoid to use FLR patch to pass problematic usb and audio controllers

I see No others benefits in my testing with this new kernel
