Any chance to know the estimated schedule for having Gb ethernet working in mainline kernel 4.x for this board?

Official schedule/status matrix is here: https://linux-sunxi.org/Linux_mainlining_effort#Status_Matrix

 

Unofficially - if Ethernet support is missing in current Armbian dev configuration then it can be enabled using obsolete/discontinued sun8i-emac driver.

Thx!!!

 

Can you point how to enable in current Armbian dev configuration the unofficial way?

It has to be a Device Tree patch similar to this: https://github.com/megous/linux/commit/631cdf7f080340357d1e68c4cf4461e3aa9ebac2

It may need to be edited based on the board schematics (if there are any differences i.e. with PHY powering)

OK

It works following the guide https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/with kernel 4.10
