Hello

 

I encounter a problem when I run the TCPDUMP command Here is the error

 

eth0: SIOCETHTOOL(ETHTOOL_GLINK) ioctl failed: Device or resource busy

 

Work like a charm with Radxa Debian OS, but on two Armbian same problem.

 

Someone knows why ?

 

Thanks

Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

armbianmonitor don't return error

 

When i'm use "tcpdump" or "arp-scan" same error

neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ tcpdump host 192.168.1.1
tcpdump: end1: SIOCETHTOOL(ETHTOOL_GLINK) ioctl failed: Device or resource busy

 

But when i specify interface, it's work

neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo tcpdump -i wlan0 host 192.168.1.1
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode

I have trying to disable end1 but not work 

neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo ip link set end1 down
neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ tcpdump host 192.168.1.1
tcpdump: end1: SIOCETHTOOL(ETHTOOL_GLINK) ioctl failed: Device or resource busy
neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo nmcli device disconnect end1

neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ tcpdump

i'm trying to Identify the processes using the interface, but no process

neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo lsof | grep end1
neooo@radxa-zero3:~$

 

I am very destabilized, you have an idea?

You can force output to terminal when using -U instead of -u with armbianmonitor. Copy everything to a paste service like paste.debian.net or paste.armbian.de when paste.armbian.com doesn't cut it

 

Hi on fresh install

 

https://paste.armbian.de/kinafawoha.yaml

 

My model is Radxa Zero 3W 8gb ram and 64 eMMC

I have found a solution.

 

I have compile a specific overlay for disable Ethernet "gmac1"

 

nano radxa-zero3-disabled-ethernet.dts

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;
/ {
	metadata {
		title = "Disabled Zero 3W Ethernet";
		compatible = "radxa,zero3";
		category = "misc";
		description = "Disabled Zero 3W Ethernet.";
	};
};
&mdio1 {
	status = "disabled";
};
&gmac1 {
	status = "disabled";
};

 

and after 

 sudo armbian-add-overlay radxa-zero3-disabled-ethernet.dts

 

after reboot, all work fine

neooo@radxa-zero3:~$ sudo tcpdump
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v[v]... for full protocol decode
