So, to make a very long story medium long. It’s fun to get things working again, but it’s sad that these things stop working in the first place.Building a CustoMac Hackintosh: Buyer's Guide Using a modified updatedata.xml file, the firmware updater ran successfully on the ASUS card, and the card started working again.
#MAC PRO 5.1 THUNDERBOLT HOW TO#
Luckily, some folks out there figured out how to add the ASUS XG-C100C to Marvel’s firmware updater.
#MAC PRO 5.1 THUNDERBOLT DRIVERS#
Marvel (acquired Aquantia) has firmware updates and drivers for AQtion AQG107 cards, but the firmware updater complains that it can’t find any compatible hardware when it’s run on the ASUS.
#MAC PRO 5.1 THUNDERBOLT UPDATE#
This card used to just work, but a recent Windows update rendered the device unusable: after a random Windows reboot one day, Device Manager reported that the card was no longer working properly. The PCIe 10Gb network card I use on all of my machines is the ASUS XG-C100C 10G, which uses the common AQtion AQC107 chipset. More Aquantia Network Driver IssuesĮven though this post is about getting Thunderbolt to work in Bootcamp, I also had major Aquantia driver issues on my main Windows workstation. This is the same driver that was automatically installed when I plugged in all of the 3 models of TB 10Gbe adapter listed above. The driver I’m using is Marvel v2.2.2.0 dated. I downloaded them, installed the certificate (following the instructions he outlined), rebooted, and… it worked! The link to download the modified drivers are available in the original thread. The certificate is placed inside the driver folder, just right click on it and select “Install -> Local Machine -> Place in the following store -> Trusted Root Certification Authorities”.

Please be aware that this is a self signed driver and as such I believe you will have to install the certificate as “Trusted Certificate Root Authority” before being able to use them. I made them because the official Apple drivers had numerous problems, such as Windows failing to boot while the egpu is plugged in and the BT stopping when the egpu gets connected.
I just created a self signed version of the latest Intel drivers (v1.41.987.0) specifically modified to work on the Macbook Pro and possibly others as well. Today, I found an article by Leandro Glossman called “Custom updated Tb3 drivers”. Every once in awhile, I would get the adapter to work for a brief period of time, but a reboot always disabled the device. I tried downgrading and upgrading to every driver I could find, including the newer Marvel drivers (Marvel acquired Aquantia some time ago), but nothing worked. However, all of them stopped working after the first reboot, showing errors in Device Manager. Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 10G Ethernet AdapterĪll of them worked perfectly at 10Gbe the first time they were plugged in.I tried the following 10Gbe TB3 adapters: Windows, Bootcamp, and Thunderbolt 10Gbe adaptersĪll of the 10G Thunderbolt network adapters out there advertise that they work in both OS X and Windows, so I thought it would be easy to get them working in Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro.
This seems to fix the issue with 10Gbe Thunderbolt network adapters that use Aquantia chipsets (could be all of them). Tldr: follow these instructions from Leandro Glossman to get a trusted self-signed Thunderbolt driver that supports the MacBook Pro. When I looked into Thunderbolt in general, this fix surfaced quickly. I had been trying to get a TB 10Gbe network adapter working and had been focusing on troubleshooting the adapter itself. After weeks of troubleshooting, I finally found a solution that seems to be working. I cannot believe how much of a pain it has been to get Thunderbolt devices to work properly in Windows on a MacBook Pro.
