hello,

my orangepi3 after the updates of firmware of these days seems to loose eth0,  at reboot take eth0 and eth0:avahi with class 169 ip.

 

i made backups (i use a sd to restore the mmc mouting hd and then copy the gzip image) so i have not problems to restore but, i suspect, the previus version is working but the new one not.

 

sorry for my worst english... 

ab

"Linux 5.9.0-sunxi64"

 

Please at least use supported builds when asking for attention and help on our expense - 5.9.y is currently broken due to changes in NIC driver.

Three reasons to not further investigate...

oh my mistake, i didnt understand that was a dev version.. can i change it with armbian config or must change to buster?

so in last 3 years, i was a very lucky guy

thank you for all

Try using armbian-config to switch to current or legacy branch

found the point Werner, thank you...

running change, soon i update this thread

ok i made the change of kernel (i'm not very keen on that).. but i had to restore my previous backup (causa the update send my eth in 169 as said).

 

ok, i restored and by armbian config i swicthed to che current versione and not the dev one.

now: if i run ap update i see the list of packets to update and there is the new firmware of 5.9.. uhm...

 

if i read well, now after armbian config into curretn versione

DISTRIBUTION_CODENAME=stretch DISTRIBUTION_STATUS=eos VERSION=20.08.13 LINUXFAMILY=sunxi64 BRANCH=dev
