Hello,
Long time follower, first issue/bug post.
I have read and tried several options over period of time to get this working, nothing helped.
ReWrote Clean image, changed SD cards (and sizes 8 > 16 > 32 > 16g).
Setting /etc/netwrok/interface
allow-hotplug eth0.
iface eth0 inet dhcp
NetworkManager.conf
[ifupdown]
managed=true/false
Tested for power consumption using ( have a 5v 4A supply ) and I know I have sufficient power
stress -c 4 -t 10
stress: info: [1347] dispatching hogs: 4 cpu, 0 io, 0 vm, 0 hdd
stress: info: [1347] successful run completed in 10s
stress -c 2 -m 2
stress: info: [1359] dispatching hogs: 2 cpu, 0 io, 2 vm, 0 hdd
(ctrl+c) to return to prompt
stress -c 4 -m 2
stress: info: [1366] dispatching hogs: 4 cpu, 0 io, 2 vm, 0 hdd
(ctrl+c) to return to prompt
could not find sysbench so couldn't try
'sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 run --num-threads=4'
looked at almost every discussion about enabling network but could not get the eth0 up.
Since network is not available, I couldn't post armbianmonitor -u I have the saved output with -U but not sure how to upload it here.
When I first power up the board, both orange and green lights on network port come and blink during flash screen, but right after the message 'Starting Kernel..." the lights go off. With Avahi there is a dummy interface shows up with the automatic dummy ip of 169.254.9.7 but eth0 only shows the MAC id.
'nmcli' shows as one of the messages, but with the dummy IP:
eth0: connected to eth0
'nmtui' shows:
Ethernet
eth0
Armbian ethernet
Armbian ethernet
So I delete the Armbian ethernets and set the eth0 to automatic dhcp AND set it as Wired Connection 1. But even after restart still get the automatic dummy ip.
invoking 'systemctl status NetworkManager' only shows

While I expected to see a dhcpclient process also running in systemctl status.

I have more details but typing all may take more effort as I can't copy paste from there.
Does anyone experience such issue or know how to resolve it?
I have seen may discussions and solutions, none worked in my case, but I'm sure my definitely isn't unique.
If there is a patch or a workaround someone can point me to, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Roy
