Hi, my rock64 (rev2) with the latest build of Armbian randomly looses its network connection. I couldn't use the armbianmonitor -u as it had no network connection, but when i use ifconfig, I can see it's still got it's settings and is the NIC lights are on. ifconfig showed 6 TX errors. My NIC is set to DHCP with static reserved IP address to an ASUS router.
I leave it on 24/7 and check it once a while as it pretty much is used as a NAS with a single USB 3 drive.
This morning I connected up via HDMI and a USB keyboard and logged in successfully. I don't have much Linux experience so wasn't sure how to capture the logs to SD card so i could copy them up here later. The NIC dropouts occur about once a week at random days and times.
I have tried use ifup and ifdown to try and re-enable the NIC, but when I did this I got a stack dump and I couldn't enter any further commands into Ubuntu. Next time the NIC fails, what command(s) should I use? I've had this issue before on the later ayufun arm64 ubuntu builds too. I see the kernel has been updated to v5 over at ayufun's github, maybe there are some code changes that might help. I did read that dropping the MTU down from 1500 to 1492 might help, but don't really want to make random changes.
