Would there potentially be any issues using this with Catalina?

does intel 2.5g NIC supported on Catalina or it starting from Big Sur or newer macOS?

In my tests AppleIGC worked fine in Catalina.

Previously, a device-id spoof and Kernel Patch was required to use the Intel I225-V NIC in Catalina, so that it would utilze the Intel I219 kext. But the official support for the I225 came with Big Sur+.

In order to make AppleIGC work, you may have to add a DMAR table with removed Reserved Memory Regions while dropping the original DMAR table (you can use SSDTTime to do this). The quirk DisableIoMapperMapping may also be required if you cannot connect to the Internet.
