Igor, thank you very much for your work. But the think is I would like to experiment with these boards right now and these hacks make it just a little bit more convenient. I'm glad to hear that he fix is on the way.

2) ethernet interface (eth0) is stuck at 100mb/s and Half Duplex. Problem can be resolved with adding `pre-up` commands in section eth0 in `/etc/network/interfaces` file iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 02:81:xx:xx:xx:xx pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 up pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 down LINK

I've decided to put all my workarounds here for a reference 1) Mac address changes at every reboot. Explicitly set your MAC address upon an Armbian system in /etc/network/interfaces iface eth0 inet dhcp hwaddress ether 02:81:xx:xx:xx:xx

My workaround is `hwaddress ether xx:xx:xx` in `/etc/network/interfaces` file.

Hi there, I've received 4 NanoPi Neo (with heatsinks as suggested by @tkaiser) recently. Here is my my first impression and also I've come across some minor issues. I hope It would be useful. I've installed Armbian_5.27.170403_Nanopineo_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.10.3. Also tried dietpi (kernel 3.4) and h3-mainline-ubuntu-core-qte-sd4g-beta-20170228.img (FrendlyArm, kernel 4.10) So far for good. Armbian works like a charm I have been able to install Docker and I've performed some simple tests. Awesome job guys! I've found one issue so far MAC address changes at every reboot. The issue was mentioned in some threads on the forum but seems like there is no solution still. btw FA's h3-mainline-ubuntu-core-qte-sd4g-beta-20170228 has no such an issue. So my workaround for this is `hwaddress ether 02:81:xx:xx:xx:xx` in `/etc/network/interfaces` file. I took MAC address from FA's image. It is not a issue. Installer forces me to change root password and make a user account. I totally understand all the security implications and stuff but it makes a massive bootstrapping difficult. I would like to make an ansible playbook to bootstrap all boards at once but it requires some extra work and jumping over hoops with expect module. If it it possible to disable that (without rebuilding an images) please share. Overall Armbian gives me a very positive impression. Great work. I'm looking forward for some more experiments.

for the record, the latest h3-mainline-ubuntu-core-qte-sd4g-beta-20170228.img has no issue.

Hi there, My question is to Orange Pi Zero owners. I've read is has DDR3 RAM shared with GPU. What is a minimum value of GPU memory? I'm looking for headless setup so it would be good to know how much memory can be used by OS. Thank you in advance.
