• Jan 05, 2020 USB Ethernet adapter for Mac. When it's about expansion port selection, Mac system are always a bit different. Previously there was Ethernet ports on Macbooks, but on newer models they're totally extinct. Macbooks from few years back had USB 3.0 type A ports and Thunderbolt 2 ports. So you can use any of the above type A adapter without any.

What's going on. (Yosemite Version).

The old drivers still work, no problem, but are being blocked in Yosemite because they aren't 'signed' properly, since they weren't re-issued for Yosemite. As 'unsigned' drivers, Mac OS refuses to load them, saying they constitute a security hazard.

What step 5 does is instructs your computer to set itself to 'developer mode', which allows you to load unsigned kexts. This is a mild security risk, but it should be fine for most people. If you're in doubt, please make the decision that makes the most sense for your security concerns. You might be better off just buying legit Apple hardware so you don't have to disable the security. That's your call.

If you ever do go legit and want to undo it, just run sudo nvram boot-args='kext-dev-mode=0, and things will be back where you left them.

What's going on. (El Capitan Version).

In short, it's the same scenario as Yosemite, just stricter. Apple has a new security mode, called 'System Integrity Protection' (SIP) that prevents anyone - even you with your password - from modifying system files.

The old drivers still work, no problem, but are being blocked in El Capitan because they aren't 'signed' properly, since they weren't re-issued for El Capitan. As 'unsigned' drivers, Mac OS refuses to load them, saying they constitute a security hazard.

The csrutil disable step turns off SIP for your entire system, which allows you to load and use the drivers. This also disables malware protection for your machine, and given that we've started to see genuine malware for OS X in the wild, it's a slightly larger security risk than it was in Yosemite.

If you're in doubt, please make the decision that makes the most sense for your security concerns. You might be better off just buying legit Apple hardware so you don't have to disable the security. That's your call.

If you ever do go legit and want to undo it, just reboot into recovery mode and run csrutil enable, and things will be back where you left them.

Anyhow, after hours of searching and pulling out my own hair, I thought it'd be worth sharing the solution! Enjoy!

When you are frequently deploying devices without a build-in network device, like MS Surfaces, DELL XPS devices and tablets, you know the burden of using USB-Ethernet adapters. These devices have their own MAC-address and when used repeatedly, you constantly have to remove the old devices to add new devices for deployment. Before SCCM CB version 1610 you could add these MAC-addresses to the registry by adding them to “ExcludeMACaddress” under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSMSComponents SMS_DISCOVERY_DATA_MANAGER

From CB 1610 on you can now add these USB-Ethernet adapters to the field “Duplicate hardware identifiers”. The idea behind this is that you don’t have to remove the devices, associated with certain USB-Ethernet adapters, anymore. Underneath a short tutorial on how to add MAC-Addresses to the “Duplicate hardware identifiers”

Step 1. Open your Systemt Center Configuration Manager console and go to “Administration > Overview > Site Configuration > Sites” and left-click on “Hierarchy Settings” in the ribbon.

Step 2. Click on the tab “Client Approval and Conflicting Records”

Step 3. Click on “Add” to add your MAC-addresses to the field “Hardware ID’s”.

Step 4. When you have added all your MAC-Addresses you can close all windows by clicking “OK”.

Now you can keep using your USB-Ethernet adapters without removing the old associations with the devices you used them on before.
