Hi Robert, QuoteHi i'm Robert "th3l0lb0y" from germany i hope my english isnĀ“t to bad Your English is quite good! The problem is most likely just one u-boot env. And it explained why you don't have Ethernet. You 've picked the wrong DTB (these 2 names are almost identical :-) Currently: dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-dns320.dtb It should be dtb_file=/boby bodhi - uBoot
Trond & pczerepaniak, Also I am wondering about WOL for these RN120/140. Do you see the Ethernet port LED lighted up? amber or green? And with WOL set in ethtool, when you shutdown the box, does the LED turn (or stay) amber or OFF ?by bodhi - Debian

@sudos, Thanks! all good points. I'll update the release notes to include your recommendation. BTW, - Marvell CESA: agreed as your edit said. - kirkwood_thermal: this module only works with the M300, afaict. Other boxes Kirkwood 88F6282 SoC seems not working properly, perhaps because they have their own method for thermal. So it might also be a good thing not to confuse the userby bodhi - Debian

spiderdijon, Yes, this box is supported in mainline Linux. So I'd expect it can be supported here easily (if the u-boot used in this box is a bit newish). Let me write a summary of steps to get it to boot Debian in the next post.by bodhi - Debian

FIS, Your USB rootfs creation steps looks good. And there is no problem with your USB stick. Try again with this combination: - kwboot the u-boot 2017.07-tld-1 version - attach the USB rootfs to one of the two USB 2.0 ports in the back - And boot I will explain it after you got it to boot this time.by bodhi - uBoot
