Bug#947449: installation-report: No networking on Olimex Lime2 (Allwinner A20)
Package: installation-reports
Version: 2.71
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I tried installing debian 10.2 on an Olimex Lime 2 device
(Alwinner A20 armhf). Although the ethernet interface was detected,
the networking did not work at all – the DHCP network setup failed,
so I tried to connect it to a PC and look at the ethernet
communication with wireshark, and it seems that no ethernet packets
ever leave the device.
The same problem persists after installation and boot – the
eth0 interface shows up, ethernet connect/disconnect events
show up in dmesg, but the networking does not work in reality.
I have tried the install also with another A20 device (Lamobo R1)
and I had exactly the same problem (none of the 5 detected
interfaces worked). Same issue also with the daily builds,
so I guess this will be a more general problem related to A20.
The networking works fine with Armbian (I tried the image from
https://dl.armbian.com/lime2/archive/Armbian_19.11.3_Lime2_buster_current_5.3.9.7z
), but I would prefer vanilla debian.
Best regards,
Marek Nečada
