Exclamation.png Known problems:

  • Release tag v4.5 contains a change that broke stmmac networking on quite a few sunxi devices. The symptoms are
[ 13.196778] libphy: PHY stmmac-0:ffffffff not found
[ 13.204800] eth0: Could not attach to PHY
[ 13.204809] stmmac_open: Cannot attach to PHY (error: -19)

A quick fix is to revert commit 88f8b1b which introduced the regression. See http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2016-March/415939.html, https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg104119.html, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=823493.
