After more testing, it appears that there is still a problem with the Intel e1000e driver and some – but not all – supported NICs..

Ethernet – Intel e1000e OK with some Kernel 5.4 Systems, but not all?

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on November 24, 2019 by RGNovember 24, 2019

After updating my main HP Z820 system to Kernel 5.4, I found that the previous Intel e1000e Ethernet problem I had encountered on my test system with Kernel 5.4-rc6 seemed to have reappeared. (see http://rglinuxtech.com/?p=2632 ). But – this time, two of my systems with e1000e drivers were OK, but the third – the HP Z820 – … Continue reading →

ARM64 – Odroid C2 – A Better Ethernet Fix..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on December 2, 2016 by RGDecember 2, 2016

The old meson Ethernet fix/patch/hack no longer applies cleanly to the latest (December 1) linux-next, but – fortunately – there is a ‘better’ patch available for the meson8b-dwmac driver itself..
