Ok so after a few mobo issues, i switched out my motherboard for a Gigabyte H61m-s2pv v2.
Catalina was easy to install on this, 16gb ddr3, radeon hd7970, intel i52400.
However, i cant for the life of me get Ethernet or sound working.
sound is - Realtek Alc887B - tried voodoo HDA, however it was unusable, a constant loud hiss in the background which was louder than the music my sytem was playing.
LAN is Qualcomm Atheros 8151 LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit)
Ive tried with the Atheros kext that came on Olarila efi, no joy, also tried about 10 others i found online, none of them make it work, i also tried one called ALXEthernet, which just sends clover into a bootloop.
These are the only issues im having right now, please help, catalina is no good to me if i cant get the internet to work.
Thanks in advance.
