as the title suggests El Capitan upgrade has meant that NTFS-3G has stopped working, has anyone found a way to get it to work?
has anyone got NTFS-3G to work on El Capitan?

I've installed OSX-FUSE and NTFS-3G on an external disk on OS X Lion (10.7, my actual working base for now) and on OS X El Capitan (in testing phase for some programs not upgradable in the old versions of OS X), either on two disk of a same machine (a Mac Pro 2006).
On the OS X Lion FUSE seem working apparently flawlessly, while on El Capitan something it's bugged and unreliable, especially during writing. I've uninstalled it from El Capitan for precaution; however problem seem have spotted-out after using NTFS disk on win10 (installed on a bootcamp partition of the same machine), which run for now without any apparent issues but with the opposite, specular problem: no way to run any utility for reading HFS+ (Mac) volume or partitions because they don't detects them (error: "File system don't exist").
I suspect that at the root of nuisance stay the usual conflictual issue about the 32 bit firmware of Mac Pro 2006-2007 with 64 bit OS: the only situation where the system Bootcamp+Win+cross reading of file system has worked really without cranks was when I've installed (with Snow Leopard) a WinXP 32 bit partition, not exactly the most updated version of windows.... I've yet a last test to do (installing Snow Leopard Bootcamp drivers with the line command feature in Win10, which allow some installing of old 32 bit based drivers) but I don't boast too confidence in it: at the moment the only satisfactorily way to use OS X and Windows 64 bit on the same old Mac Pro is just consider the two system as completely independent, with the use of a USB external key (FAT formatted) as the only reliable mean to pass files, parameters etc.
