Hi there, As the proud owner of a Mac ro 4,1 (upgraded to 5,1 and with 2 X Xeon Hexa-Core X5670 CPU's) I 'suffer' from one limitation. And that is the now old and really slow USB 2.0. I would like to add a PCI USB 3.1 card and I've spotted the ASUS USB 3.1 PCI Card. Of course, that card is given as compatible only with Windows. But I have seen some reports from people claiming to have inserted this card into their Mac and having successfully used it with several devices. It seems that these reports are under 'Yosemite'. I was wondering if they are still good with El Capitan.
I inserted the card into the Mac. It seems to be recognized by the Mac Pro. Indeed looking at the System Infos, under 'PCI' give 'USB Extension card'. BUT: - no USB stick I insert mounts; - no USB drive I hook up mounts; - my mouse doesn't even power up; - the keyboard doesn't function. So I was wondering if: - El Capitan has got rid of the earlier USB 3.1 support in Yosemite? - Or if my card can be defect in any way? - If this behavior can be due to the upgrades I performed (Mac 4,1 => 5,1 + 8-Core CPU => 12 Core CPU)?
If anyone would be able to help me out, I'd be eternally grateful:-) If needed, card can be sent back to seller. Hi, Replying to myself: the card is functional. And the hardware isn't at fault. How do I know? Simple: my Mac can dual boot into Mac or into Linux Debian.
So I just booted into Debian on the very same Mac Pro. Without the need to install any additional software, the USB 3.1 card is perfectly recognized under Linux. To remain decent, I will remain silent and will not say what I think about Apple trying to restrict the use of their machines without any technical need to do so. I will now try to boot in Yosemite to see if that allows me to use the card. That card, which you say provides Windows support only, undoubtedly requires a Driver to function at all Mac OS X.
Under Apple's new rules for ElCapitan, kernel extension Drivers must be signed with a recognized developer certificate, or they are simply NOT LOADED. This is a feature of Mac OS X 10.11 ElCapitan, and is well-documented. My personal opinion: You did not do your homework before installing this card in that version of Mac OS X 10.11 ElCapitan. You caused your own problem, and the bad things you imply about Apple are rubbish. There are various USB3.1 cards on the market and none of them come with Mac drivers, all of them rely on using the built-in generic Apple provided USB driver.
