RPi3B+ Ethernet Not working on LibreElec

Hello,

When my RPi3B+ boots up, the ethernet lights seem fine, used it to install NOOBs file install for LibreELEC. So it's not a hardware failure. As soon as LibreELEC starts booting it turns off. I am not able to see any kind of connection for wired connections. Have Ethernet enabled, also went from a RPi2 and the cable worked fine on that. So I know it's not an issue with the wire itself. I am now forced to use a Wireless connection when I don't want to.

@ LibreELEC 8.2.5

Thanks

NOOBS is not very much recommended alongside LibreELEC. A LibreELEC-only setup is preferred.

You may have to enable the "Wait for network" option in the LibreELEC Settings Add-on. Usually LibreELEC boots too quickly on x86-64 hardware and "forgets" to properly initialize the network connection.

I'll have to try the standalone installer with the Pi3B+ because it wasn't working with the older Pi 2.

It did not end up working. Tried 10 more seconds, 60 seconds, and then 120 seconds. No go.

Use the latest Alpha with updated firmware. Any difference?

I could give it a test at some point, but would rather stick to the stable build because there's a skin I like that hasn't been updated yet for Leia.

LE 8.2.5 has the original released firmware for 3B+ while the Alpha(s) have several iterations newer firmware which corrects issues. Holding out for a skin is a valid reason, but from a stability perspective Alpha's are better than 8.2.5 for 3B+

Still no go. Even with the time delay solution.

Update: Used the standalone installer and it worked on the Pi 3B+ compared to a 2. Still no go for Ethernet.

Update 2: As of recent, the newest Leia firmware seemed to make the problem with the Ethernet adapter magically work. Very Happy.
