Do I need to uninstall anything before??
I have done this before
iface='eth1'
mac=$(ip -br l | mawk -v "iface=$iface" '$1 == iface {print $3}')
sudo mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/networking.service.d
echo -e "[Service]\nExecStartPre=/sbin/ip l set dev $iface address $mac" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/networking.service.d/set_mac.conf
Ah yeah, disable that one for now:
sudo mv /etc/systemd/system/networking.service.d /etc/systemd/system/networking.service.d.bak
Looks good on my system
Great, it should apply MACs which are close to each other, differing only in the last digit.
@temp is it an R5S or R5C in your case?
And I had a typo in my commands, “images” instead of “image”, so without correcting that, the download (and installation) would have failed. Did you fix that to have the kernel package downloaded correctly?
Is a r5s
I get only this
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8126a-2.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rockchip/dptx.bin for module rockchipdrm
And yes I correct images to image
Okay, still need one with R5C to test. On GitHub however, we have a case where the kernel with this patch fails to boot, just no idea yet why, or how it can even be (as the patch is pretty uncritical, even if it would not work).
You can ignore this. The armbian-firmware package misses a few firmware binaries for certain network drivers, while all network drivers are added to the initramfs, regardless which ones are really used by the device. So it warns if any firmware binary for any network driver is missing.
I see another issue now …my eth0, interface has no ipv6 address anymore
Checked it today now I have a ipv6 address
