I was hoping for some pointers on this issue I am having while trying to enable eth0 interface on my Pine64 SBC.
I am running the following Armbian version:
Title: Armbian 5.38.180128 Pine64 Debian stretch next
Kernel: Linux 4.14.15
Build date: 28.01.2018
I am able to connect a USB 2.0 to Ethernet adapter without any issues. The problem arises when I try to enable eth0 which is the Native Ethernet port.
pine64:/# ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
dmesg | grep eth0 gives me the following:
xxxxxx.ethernet eth0: Could not attach to PHY
var/log/messages shows the following:
device (eth0): driver '(null)' does not support carrier detection
device (eth0): driver 'unknown' does not support carrier detection
It definitely looks like a driver issue but reinstalling the following did not help:
firmware-linux-nonfree
firmware-linux
Setting network manager to ignore the carrier and restarting network services yielded no results:
$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
ignore_carrier=eth0
thoughts?
thanks!
