My Mac Mini (late 2011) is connected by ethernet to a Topfield PVR. The Topfield has a web server and an FTP server. The connection is direct - there is no router between them as they are only 30cm apart and there are no other devices connected. The ethernet connection has not worked properly since I installed OS X 10.10.5. With 10.10.5, it took 2-3 attempts to get a connection. In frustration I installed the 10.11 GM release. Ethernet to the PVR has not worked since.
VMXNET3 driver now included in Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)+. (El Capitan) release. You can find the driver located in. Below are the instructions on configuring the VMXNET3 network adapter for your Mac OS X guests. USB to ethernet adapter cannot be detected and used after upgrading to Mac OS X El Capitan from Yosemite. My ethernet adapter is JP208B and is no longer detected with My MacBook Air ( Mid 2013 ). At first, I am doubtful my ethernet adapter is malfunctioned so I bought new ethernet adapter ( JP1081B ).
Tried the 10.11.1 public beta with no change. Installed the public 10.11 release yesterday but still no ethernet connection visible on the Mini. Have done an IP scan and found that the PVR is not visible on the network. I've not yet browsed all the log files but, nothing appears in Console when I try to connect. The green light (power) on the PVR ethernet socket is working and the yellow light (data) blinks. But, the Mac Mini can't see the PVR on the network. Have tried changing the manually set IP addresses of the Mac Mini and PVR with no improvement.
I think given all the reports in this conversation that it's an El Capitan bug (but which started with 10.10.5). Could this be related to Apple's decision to revert to mdnsResponder?
