The packges above are only relevant in Debian/kernel, which has no problem.
We are currently at issue with the RealTek driver in U-Boot. It could be that nobody has regression test this driver since U-Boot changed SW architecture to driver model. Or could be due to my lack of knowledge about this RealTek NIC.

Hi Peter,
Here is the new build.
uboot.2023.04-tld-1.nsa310.kwb_mar_17_2024.tar
Run kwboot with it, interrupt the u-boot countdown, and
If that did not work

Hi,
I have tried it. I noticed some waiting after printing "Net:", and the first "dm tree" now showed the device (I think this was not the case earlier), but sadly ping did not work.
Some random thoughts and questions:
1) Is the "pci_hose_bus_to_phys: invalid physical address" concerning? I found it around https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/drivers/pci/pci_common.c when seemingly translating some address to some other address :), and as far as I understood it, if the message is displayed, the physicaladdress is not calculated, and returns 0. Is this physicaladdress some PCI address or the MAC?
2) Also, I have noticed that in uboot there is a reset command. When I try that, I see that one interface is recognized as egiga0, but not with rtl drivers. This may be completely irrelevant, but the commands you mention do not work, also ping doesn't, but there is no "invalid physical address" message.
3) The NAS, when booting from rootfs on HDD, gets the 192.168.1.158. When kwbooting, I don't see it in the DHCP client list. Of course, if the eth driver is not loaded, there is no DHCP. Is there something like "ip a" while kwbooting to confirm the local IP?

Thaks for testing!
That's what I want to see.

It's the PHY address of the PCI device.

That was a wrong detection in 2017.07 u-boot, which was a left over from NSA325/310s/320 code. The MV88E1318 is a Marvell network chip. This box does not have that chip, but the driver was running in the 2017.07 u-boot.

That's because the Linux kernel driver for RTL8169 is working so you have network connection through the RealTek NIC.

Everything looks normal in the dm tree when you kwboot it. The driver was loaded, the device was created.
The error indicates that the PHY address was wrong (for non-existent). And I have not found why that problem occurred in the u-boot driver (I thought I did :).
