Me lost too . What is your board? Symptoms? What does "not work" mean: link drops, no link, no led...?

 

And please provide the logs, that is, the output of "sudo armbianmonitor -u"

Tinkerboard 

no led

no link

when the OS didnt find a PHY (Ethernet-Connector) then it could use link/led?:

you could try to use a usb-ethernet-dongle until the problem is fixed in this version (normally in a stable imag it should work)

or use a older image from:
https://dl.armbian.com/tinkerboard/archive/

 

Did you check your cable/router?

yes checked both cable and router port both work fine on other devices 

ok, so i tried earlier versions still nothing i have also tried an image from asus still nothing

is this a new board (for you) or did it work at any thime in the past with ethernet?

Did you try another power-supply?

Its a brand new board, i have tried with a new power supply i hav a 5v 2.1 a    and a 5v 3amp adapter both show the same issue

Try a different cable - tinker generally works with out of the box - what happens if you reflash with the Asus build?

ok so i think i should update as the issue is now resolved. the nic is dead (hardware issue)  

i contacted ASUS in america (I am from the UK) who, after troubleshooting, decided that it needed repairing. and was willing to do this if i sent the board to them but as i am from the uk they referred me to the uk site with a reference number of what was going to take place.

ASUS Uk would not help me saying "they would not accept return of this item to be repaired even though there is a 24 months warranty. ASUS USA would allow it they stated that each country has a different returns policy, i would need to contact the suppler. luckily enough it was amazon who when i contacted them said we will send a new one out and would arrive tomorrow! WOW i dont really like evil corporations but F**k that was fast. so i have the new board and everything works fine and a happy ever after................

 

Thank you all, for helping me out in my time of need.
