DHCP assigns wrong ip (169.254.xxx.xxx / 16)
Manual IP connection does not work either

Only relevant difference between April 27-28 images is kernel bump to 6.3. From what I can see in journal logs, you're using IPv6, right? Can you test with IPv4? In any case, interface comes up, so I don't think it's driver issue.

PinkyAcorn · February 15, 2024 at 5:11 PM

Thanks for the answer,

Nope, i primarily use IPv4, but my router also runs DHCPv6 server (no way to disable on proprietary firmware, afaik)
I tried manually assing IPv4 address on 2023.04.28 firmware and ping tanix and got very intersting result

I updated my Tanix TX6 to latest nightly and ethernet works fine. However, it's ipv4. I can't convince it to connect over ipv6.

PinkyAcorn · February 17, 2024 at 9:00 AM

Just tried latest night build | LibreELEC-H6.aarch64-12.0-nightly-20240216-7e3058d-tanix-tx6
Same issue with same symptomes unfortunately
It looks like bad cable but every other device, including tanix itself, works just fine with that exact cable
