The internet does not work on the ethernet port of the Orange Pi 3B with DietPi and Kernel 6.18. It only works on Ubuntu Jammy with Kernel 5.10 provided by the manufacturer of the Orange Pi. The yellow LED on the ethernet port blinks, but it does not connect to the network, even when trying automa…

Apparently @ MichaIng solved this problem in 2024, but the issue still persists in kernel 6.18. Should I use kernel 6.11 instead? [image] Ethernet not working in the new version of Orange Pi 3B Troubleshooting Okay I generated a new kernel package with the syml…

You have a v1.1 revision, right? These Ethernet issues were one of the reasons for the v2.1. It seems to appear after a while, somehow: Orange Pi 3B v1.1 Ethernet adapter not working · Issue #7490 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub Please test this on DietPi: sudo ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x0f Taken fro…

Yes, I have the Orange Pi 3B v1.1.1 board. Thank you for your help!

Had this problem too, the solution in the end was to nuke and reflash the SPI. Also - the topic is in the wrong category

What is the version of your board? Is it the Orange Pi 3B version 1.1.1? Which program or command did you use to format and rewrite the SPI?

Yup it’s 1.1. As for the software, there are many guides on the Internet, just Google. No special software needed

Sorry for the inconvenience. I’m a beginner. Did you use the official rk3566_MiniLoaderAll.bin from Orange Pi? https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_dkTZ6LD8JnoQ2PHpuud_FapzYD1Imtp Did you need to update the configurations rk3588_Linux_pcie.cfg (loader) or rk3566_rkspi_loader.img (U-Boot)? Wa…

No I don’t touch OrangePi stuff. Just use dd to erase it, alternatively (if your WiFi is working), you can install mtd-utils and use flashcp. There should be a way to do it from dietpi-config too, I think.

Last question. Sorry for the inconvenience. Which bin/cfg image did you use to reflash the SPI? Where can I download it?

I don’t think I ever downloaded any images. I just relied on those available in tools from armbian or dietpi.
