I'm using the pine a64 with 512mb of ram. i used like 5 different operating systems and all of them couldn't detect my Ethernet connection. what could be detected was a USB Ethernet dongle, however none of the operating systems had drivers for it. I'm pretty sure there's something broken on the board and wanted advice on confirming that and what to do next. thank you

i got a weird feeling that dongle is broken.

you could use command "lsusb" before and after inserting dongle to troubleshoot it. (may require package installation, probably "usbutils".) also "ip address" shows something, if usb device is detected.
