MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 breaks networking - resulting in mDNS crash - random restarts

[CJW_KOREA]

just a bit of an issue I noticed with the latest edition of Monterey, MacOS 12.3.1.  I had Ethernet working as well as wifi.  Now when I try and switch the network from one to the other, the system hangs and restarts.  Upon re-entry into MacOS, an error report shows   Panic cpu 6 caller error. 

I managed to boot back in but noticed that my Intel i255-v ethernet now no longer functions. Gives a self-assigned IPv4 - No connection.  

Anyone here encountering this?

use dk.e1000=0 and e1000=0

[CJW_KOREA]

 I have dk.e1000=0 and e1000=0 already in my boot arguments now.

 

 

Added both - no kernel panicking this time but the Intel i255-v Ethernet is dead now. No IPv4 address. Just the incorrect IPv6.  I have been suggested to turn on VT-d ... I am not so sure this a good idea as in the past it has causes KPs and other instability. 

There is something else going on here.  

 

An external Satechi USB-C dock with Ethernet works without any issue at all - right up to 1Gb/s which is fine.

Actually, got another issue with ethernet causing a KP. Surprisingly a USB-C Satechi dock with a 1GB Ethernet port works just fine. Internal ones cause a KP now 20 minutes into trying to establish a connection . The Network address shows an IPv6 address and then system restarts randomly.

While the mDNS error seems to be cleared up with the disabler .kext , now a new issue this time with the logiooptionsplus_ task causing a Kernel panic when switching Ethernet ports --this of course makes no sense as logiootionsplus is Logitech's software for controlling keyboard and mice.  Reading up on this error it is again another major problem in macOS Monetary 12.3.1 update.  

 

Ok, well I think this issue is now solved, at least for now. There are a number of .kext files to be on the hunt for which interfere or cause Kernel issues within normal Apple desktops/laptops under MacOS 12.3.1.   logiootionsplus agent conflicts with the com.apple.vecLib.kext. Many users of the new iMac with M1 Apple Silicon, MacMini and the newest Mac Studio have reported a reoccurring KP with the latest update.  Does Apple seem to be rolling out updates without testing ?

The last KP took out my displayport audio as well.  I hotplugged the display and the audio came back.

Here you go. My Hackpro is now stable and doesn't KP with MacOS 12.3.1 when switching networks anymore after adding a few other kexts and boot arg. e1000=0. 

 

- Next things to do.. Thunderbolt 4, BT5 and  Airdrop.
