Sure! I really like to test!

@tkaiser We are talking about two different things. I'm not talking about your scipt. The initial problem is that eth0 on the Banana Pi doesn't handle appletalk packages well. See the first posting He doesn't see appletalk devices, like with my problem. So to make appletalk work on this device i guess you need to fix the driver like I did.

Hahahaha! SUPER!!!!! Good of you to ask! Glad it is fixed now for everybody!

@zador.blood.stained Thanks for the explanation. For the MacIPpi I will update the standard Armbian images with this dwmac-sun8i-v5 branch. I really like to have a stable working driver for Ethernet on my OP1 and OPZ.

Have a look at the posting Appletalk ....again. Solved! You can fix your Banana Pi the same way!

@tkaiser Yes … I informed Corentin Labbe about the result. I’m afraid I don’t know how I should let you know what the diff is. I have seen a multicast fix in drivers/net/ethernet/allwinner/sun8i-emac.c in sun8i-emac: fix multicast 3 days ago. May this is it: https://github.com/montjoie/linux/commit/43934e114a3a3358a570480c8974e4e52769cd11 This is in sun8i-emac-v5.1. I used dwmac-sun8i-v5. I don’t see the same fix. Hope you can work with this information and apply the fix to the Armbian images? I gave my 4.6.0 MacIPpi image this new 4.11.0 kernel with the fix, and it is working fine. No more RX errors!

Thanks for the tips! I do my best to compile a new kernel with Corentin's changes.

I got a very friendly email of one of the maintainers of the sun8i-emac ethernet driver. See my posting on:

I got a very friendly reply on my search for correct AppleTalk working on the sun8i-emac network driver. See this: Not sure how to use this fix in the building development, but maybe someone is willing to give some help!

I looked up the DHCP leases table in my router. It looks like this:

I agree with tkaiser. You are making things to complicated. You are trying to let your Mac act as a DHCP server.. Possible...but complicated! Please try to connect your OrangePi like it is an ordinary PC / Mac with wired network. So connect it to your network switch. Then your OrangePi will get an IP address. Look it up in your router DHCP leases table which address it is... If you succeded so far you can connect to it with ssh with user root and password 1234 See this image:

This is also also a nice post about an Orange Pi Zero ( but for Orange Pi One the same) for an absolute beginner. It has also the network / dhcp / router stuff. http://lucsmall.com/2017/01/19/beginners-guide-to-the-orange-pi-zero/

Ok. Took me 22 minutes to type an answer on my iPhone.... and see now that gnash answered the post as well :-) More or less same thing. No Armbian problem. Just network problems.

This looks more like a common network problem then an Armbian problem. In general if you see somewhere a 169.254 address you know you have a problem...... These addresses are of a special range: "in modern networks addresses are assigned by a DHCPserver. Most IPv4 hosts use link-local addressing only as a last resort. For these link-local addressing, IPv4 uses the special block 169.254.0.0/16 as described in RFC 3927." So you better first start thinking as a network technician. - is your Orange Pi connected to your network? - find out which range your local network uses. Most times it starts with 192 or 172 or 10. If your local network ( your internet router) has a DHCP server it will provide your SoC also with a IP address. You can find this address in the lease table of your router. - poor mans solution would be to ping every address in the same range as your computer to see if any device is answering. And yes. First investment in the SoC hobby should be a USB serial cable!

@mabam Realy great article about AppleTalk and the BananaPi! But it is really a shame that these devices are not able to do multicasting in a way that the can handle AppleTalk. I now have a Orange Pi One, Orange Pi Zero, Pinne64 and all are ruining AppleTalk. I hope someone working on the Ethernet drivers on these boards will pikc up this discussion and fixes this. I don't like to switch to a Raspberry Pi on my projects. I also don't like to stick in a dead cheap USB dongle in these devices if they have a Ethernet devices already on board.

Some more research. It seems that Appletalk protocol is mutilated bij the ethernet driver on a OranePi Zero. Could it be a simple thing like a value which is to snmall so that information is cut of? Have a look at a tcpdump at the same time on two different machines. One on an OrangePi Zero ( 4.10.3) and one on a Tiny Core VM. On the Tiny Core atalk works fine...

Ok ......asking the question is answering it.... In the igorpecovnik lib is an example docker file is an example Dockerfile: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/Dockerfile I give some hands on tips for novice docker and kernel hackers. First of all...why docker? Well if you only have an Centos 6.x x64 machine (a VPS) like I have and you would like to make your own custom kernel it is handy. So start with installation first: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/ If up and running first test if you understand the basics. Do this as root or use sudo # docker run hello-world If correct working you will see a “Hello for Docker!” Then make a working directory like docker-armbian # mkdir /root/docker-armbian # cd /root/docker-armbian In this directory you download the Dockerfile: https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/Dockerfile FROM ubuntu:16.04 RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y git build-essential binutils WORKDIR /root RUN git clone https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/ RUN cp lib/compile.sh . Then download the image for the Armbian container with this command: # docker build -t 3mdeb/armbian . Don't forget the last dot ( .). It tells docket to read the Dockerfile! The correct image will be downloaded The start it up: docker run -t -i 3mdeb/armbian Then check if you are i the container: # ls –al You will see that you are directory /root and the compile scipt is also copied over there. If you want to edit, please do a # apt-get install nano # apt-get install vim So you can edit the compile scripts to your need. Important is that in docker you can compile a custom kernel but not a complete image. This have to do with all kind of problems with file systems. ( if anyone succeded in doing with…please add it to this post!) Finally just do a ./compile.sh and sometimes press enter, etc. if you are asked. You will reach the limit of the 10BG disk barrier, but please press enter to continue. Succes and fun!

OK. I can confirm now that the image with the kernel tkaiser helped to build also works on a Orange Pi Zero 256MB. So yes .... for $6.99 you have your own macipgw running on a Orange Pi Zero to surf the Internet with your Macintosh Plus, Powerbook 100 and other retro Apple computers without network card.

I was wondering if anybody has the steps to build your own Armbian kernel with the help of Docker. I see some scattered postings and processes. Would be nice to add the right way to do it to our documenation. Anybody got a working recept?

Small update. My image for a MacIPpi with the kernel 4.6.0 runs also fine on an Orange Pi Zero. Tested it on a 512MB one and ordered a 256MB one. To see if I get the cheapest appletalk tcp/ip router in the world :-) Download it from: http://cdn.macip.net/Netatalk-MacIpgw-Image-OrangePiOne-V2.0.1.img.7z Read about is on: http://www.macip.net/ And yes the Orange Pi Zero fits perfect in this matchbox but I wouldn't advice it......
