Wilhelm Moser Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi there, I have a very strange issue: kernel 5.4.14-rockchip64 debian_version 10.3 Armbian 20.02.0-rc1 stable cable is OK - checked eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 set to dhcp ---- unfortunately the rockpro64 gave up with an hardware ram issue The unit was replaced and luckily I have an image: March 3, 2020 which was OK and fully functional. Today I threw it on the SD-Card and I do not have a NIC at all. A.m. Data drawn from the OS hwinfo issues RTL8211F irq:0 27 "eth0" lshw network:0 eth0 id9 with MAC network:1 DISABLED dummy0 ip a dummy0 down (Never had this scrap before) eth0: NO CARRIER ip link show dummy0 down eth0: BROADCAST UP... state UP Any ideas what happens here???? What am I missing??? Thank you - willi btw: my rockpros take about 90 seconds to boot up and I do have to power on/off the screen 2 times before the interface realizes that it has got a screen???? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preview builds never had any end user support. They were made exclusively for hunting bugs. 21 hours ago, Wilhelm Moser said: What am I missing??? You need to run latest image https://www.armbian.com/download/ (or at least updated to latest) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilhelm Moser Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 buster 2020-06-03 installed without any issues - screen recon OK, screen size OK, network dhcp out of the box Thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm Moser Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 further report of findings: Armbian Focal desktop mainline based kernel 5.4.y - no eth0 Buster desktop 5.4 - no eth0, hwinfo says hardware OK and shows eth0, but no entry at /dev Buster server 4.4 - eth0 OK buster server 4.4 Would be good if there is a solution for buster desktop 5.4 as the installation of i.e. LXDE on buster server 4.4 is crude - somehow.. No pulseaudio and even apt-get install lxde delivers only the lxde-core. Funny that one have to install xorg before as the lxde packages does not resolve the dependency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinayotte Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Wilhelm Moser said: Buster desktop 5.4 - no eth0 You can try the "old school" way by adding the following in /etc/network/interfaces : # Wired adapter #1 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhelm Moser Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 tried with dhcp and static at /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 but with auto eth0 added allow-hotplug eth0 too... currently on ubuntu 20.4 but hell - ping changed from network not reachable to Destination host not reachable... some efforts.. still no network device in /dev but ethtool -S eth0 shows some data - almost all 0 Can't help but I think there is a bug between Kernel 5.4 and network?-manager sorry but I am not very good in driver and kernel tasks my focus is on LXC-Containers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
