Opencore Migration Ethernet Kext Question

Hello,

I have almost succesfully converted from Clover to OpenCore 0.5.4 following this Vanilla Guide by khronokernel-2

https://khronokernel-2.gitbook.io/opencore-vanilla-desktop-guide/

Just an issue with the ethernet intelmausiethernet.kext injecting...

OC 0.5.4

OSX 10.15.2

ASUS Rog Maximus X Code Bios v2203 (uses Intel® I219V)

i7 8700k w/ AMD RX 580 Sapphire Nitro+ SE

The latest kext is in my EFI/OC/Kexts folder with the other latest kexts that have loaded properly. It seems to be entered correctly in the config.plist like the other latest kexts. But the service is inactive and there is no Ethernet connection. Airport works fine.

I ran kextstat in terminal and could confirm that the kext was not loaded. Nor did en0 report anything with IoRegistryExplorer

The only way I was able to get ethernet to work was by manually installing the kext into the L/E/ folder via kextbeast and after reboot.

I can confirm ethernet is now working and reports as loaded with kextstat, and the device populates in IoRegistryExplorer.

I know kextbeast sn't the proper way to install kexts so reaching out for some advice if I've done anything wrong with my config.plist

Possibly an issue with OC version 0.5.4? I know everything is still BETA.

Below is a link to my EFI folder with serial removed.
