Great! Do you have a chance to make your patched image available for a download? To be honest... I am able to edit configs in a linux file system, but applying patches and compiling... close to magic for me. THX!
Due to the chip shortage I am sure there will be a lot of people who would like to use LE on the LTS versions from OrangePi, even when not supportet by the official LE line.
here, take it LE10 H6 ARM OPi 3 LTS
Here is the patch to support Orange Pi 3 LTS ethernet NIC YT8531 http://ix.io/3PDm
Made from linux-sunxi 5.10 patches
git checkout 10.0
Put to projects/Allwinner/patches/linux/0053-motorcomm-driver-YT8531.patch
Then build and flash orangepi-3 image
Hello! Why LE10 on Orange Pi 3 LTS not support USB NIC?
NIC is present in lsusb output:

I can't configure IP address.
I doing this because built in ethernet doesn't always work. Sometimes need several reboots to get it to work.
Thanks!
