Hello,

 

The NanoPi Neo 2 has an H5 SoC.  When I look at the Linux mainlining effort chart at Sunxi, I see that Ethernet support for the H5 only came in the 4.15 kernel.  But the kernel in the Armbian downloads for the NanoPi Neo 2 only have the 4.14.y kernel.

 

So can one expect the GbE to work, on a NanoPi Neo 2, with the current Armbian (Bionic or Stretch)?  Maybe you already backport the 4.15 Ethernet-related code (for the H5) into that 4.14.y kernel?
