I have just downloaded and installed a fresh Buster Image (Armbian_20.11.3_Orangepi3_buster_current_5.9.14.img).

After configuring the root password and the new armbian user, I have tried to update the system using (apt-get update....)

But I noticed that there is no internet connection through the ethernet cabble.

The command ethtool eth0 says that the link is detected.

When trying to activate the Wired connection using "nmtui", the system says: could not activate connexion: Activation failed: IP configuration could not be reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.)

 

Could you assist me to resolve this problem.

 

Note:

1-The same cabble/router are well working with my second orange PI PC card. So, there is no wiring problem.

2-I have well googled to resolve this problem. But, I did not found any working solution.

 

Does your router have a free DHCP-lease for your OPi3 or did you configure a static IP via nmtui?

please provide a log-link for the command

armbianmonitor -u

I am using DHCP / nmtui

The router has sufficiant DHCP range. In fact, only the Orange Pi is connected to router using cabble. The following image depicts the DHCP config of my router:

You are not doing anything wrong. There is a bug in the driver https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/2315

Many thanks for the clarification.

The problem is solved thanks to the solution proposed by "Aivaras-s" (https://github.com/armbian/build/issues/2315).

In fact, I installed the test image which could be found in this link: https://armbian.lane-fu.com/PR/AR-512/

It is a server version (not a desktop one)

I hope that the problem will be solved in the near future in a stable release because the mentioned solution is a development release which contains other problems.

For instance, the activation of the access point is not working.

 

Yeah we held back the opi3 to kernel 5.8 but it looks like the download page was accidentally update to 5.9

 

You can find stable images with 5.8 kernel here
