Pine Dock Networking Issue

[trillobite]

Hey everyone, I recently got the Pine Dock, and to be honest it's been a game changer for me, however there are two issues, HDMI isn't working, and no network through the rj-45.

Being a jack of all trades, but master of none... I do not have the knowledge to figure out these two issues. The primary issue I wish to fix is the network.

Anyone else experience these issues?

I found this... but it's not compatible with ARM64 architecture (pinebook)

Looks like I will be bringing this up to the Manjaro forums after a bit more research. I believe this is a distro specific issue lacking a driver. Here's a few more clues I found:

In the docs:
https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pro_Dock

1. GbE Ethernet chip - RTL8153B
2. "Using devuan ARM & debian ARM, xfce4. Did not test Video out. USB and SD card readers work. Ethernet is working at full speed."
3. Ethernet works when connecting the device to a Windows machine.

Looks like the driver will be included in the 6.7 kernel.
