I am currently testing an Orange Pi 3 with your nightly distributions (for instance Armbian_5.83.190424_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.9), and they work fine but have some issues.
The main issue is that the ethernet link status display does not really work. When I unplug my ethernet cable, the "Link detected" is alwayes 'yes" within ethtool. As I am trying to configure my board in bonding mode with an external wifi usb adapter (because the embedded wifi is not yet supported by armbian for Orange Pi 3), my bonding is not working because the link status on eth0 is always yes. I have also checked /sys/class/net/eth0/carrier and it is always "1" even if I unplug the ethernet cable from the board. The bonding driver uses the eth0 link status to say "oh, eth0 is down, I must switch to the secondary interface".
Is that a bug or just because the Armbian for Orange Pi 3 is still on Beta Release?
Another issue, is the support of the wifi. Do you think there will be in the future a way to use the embedded wifi of the OPI3 on your armbian releases?
I thank you for the good job around all the boards with Armbian, I have different models of Pi's, 3 of them with armbian which are running great: Orange Pi Zero, Orange Pi Win+, Orange Pi 3.
