Did anyone ever try the drives from Small Tree for OS X?

Feb 09, 2015  From what I read the Small Tree drivers verify if the Intel card is a 'Small Tree Intel card'. This is most likely done using the subsystem-id and subsystem-vendor-id in the PCI configuration space, something which can.

They are officially linked from the Intel driver page.

The drivers can be found here:

Intel Lan Driver Windows 10

From what I read the Small Tree drivers verify if the Intel card is a 'Small Tree Intel card'.
This is most likely done using the subsystem-id and subsystem-vendor-id in the PCI configuration space, something which can now be spoof using FakePCIID.
Two questions need to be answered:

• What is the Small tree subsystem-id & subsystem-vendor-id
  Some information seems to be here:
  http://www.small-tree.com/kb_results.asp?ID=69
• Which devices work

I hope someone with an Intel network adapter can pitch in here.
Note, I believe it should be possible to additional devices through plist or FakePCI injection.
Apple also includes a number of Intel ethernet kexts which might be spoofable:
