The eth0 device does not work when using 6.1.47-current-sunxi64 and 6.12.20-current-sunxi64 kernels.

There will be the following errors in the kernel log.

Hi

 

Providing logs with

 

PASTE_SERVER_HOST=paste.armbian.de armbianmonitor -u

 

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

 

 

@Werner Got it! Thank you for your help.

Provided the link. 

Now I am trying to downgrade Kernel back to 5.51.X and figure out it.

Great.

Just to avoid cross-contamination. You are sure you have the Orange Pi 3 and not the Orange Pi 3 LTS model?

 

Background: OrangePi naming scheme is kind a ridiculous, makes no sense often enough and introduces confusion. In this particular case they switch to a different PHY chip which I think was migitated by Armbian but not sure if they still have separate images.

 

Seems like a similar topic already exists: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/34024-cannot-attach-to-phy-after-upgrade-to-202381/

@Werner Yes, My SBC model is "OrangePi3", not LTS. 

@Werner I will close this Topic and discuss the issue in the old one.
