I just upgraded (using a fresh image with the 5.69 image) one of my SOPINE A64 modules from Armbian Xenial - legacy kernel 3.10.y to Armbian Bionic - mainline kernel 4.19.y. The onboard ethernet will no longer work. The sopine module is connected to a clusterboard instead of a sopine baseboard, but the NIC is on the module so it should not make a difference.
On Xenial 3.10.y kernel the driver loaded for the NIC is the sunxi_geth driver, on bionic 4.19.y kernel it is the st_mac100 driver.
I have a USB dongle plugged in and that works to get the machine online for testing. In the same clusterboard i have more modules still on the old image and they have no issues with networking. Let me know what other information i can supply.

I just upgraded (using a fresh image with the 5.69 image) one of my SOPINE A64 modules from Armbian Xenial - legacy kernel 3.10.y to Armbian Bionic - mainline kernel 4.19.y. The onboard ethernet will no longer work. The sopine module is connected to a clusterboard instead of a sopine baseboard, but the NIC is on the module so it should not make a difference.
On Xenial 3.10.y kernel the driver loaded for the NIC is the sunxi_geth driver, on bionic 4.19.y kernel it is the st_mac100 driver.
Here is the output of the lshw for 4.19.y
*-network:0 description: Ethernet interface physical id: 6 logical name: eth0 serial: 02:ba:9b:53:82:7a size: 1Gbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=st_mac100 driverversion=Jan_2016 duplex=full link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=1Gbit/s
I have a USB dongle plugged in and that works to get the machine online for testing. In the same clusterboard i have more modules still on the old image and they have no issues with networking. Let me know what other information i can supply.
Thanks,
