wifi works fine on our rock 5B+ board with the 6.18 Gnome build...

Hi domillo, If the green light has started flashing, it may indicate that the system has been started, but at this point, we cannot determine the IP address of the Cubie a5e. Once you have a UART adapter, please try to capture the DRAM parameters of the Cubie a5e according to this document: radxa-cubie-a5e-u-boot/README.md Guation

WOL might work on a newer 6.18 release of the kernel. Btw do I have it right that you're using Armbian without OMV?

Thank you for the information mmgen, One thing you missed is the ffmpeg compilation information. Run: $ ffmpeg It will print out the ffmpeg version and all the libraries that were enabled, and all the libav* libraries it has compiled along with ffmpeg (libav* are parts of the ffmpeg project). The interesting information is whether it uses the "v4l2-request" library, which lets ffmpeg control a part of the kernel that controls the hardware decoder. When you run mpv -v yourvideo.mp4 you could also see v4l2request, or some other message about the hardware acceleration (at this point I doubt that v4l2request is used, because it works better in newer kernels)
