Looks like the "network hardware and/or software" is modified when I switch between android and linux OSs...
My main PC is dual boot win7/mint18, the pine64 runs either android 5.1.1 or a Longsleep-based linux. Both units are connected to the same switch, this switch is connected to the cable-modem.
Whatever the OS, the main PC gets the ethernet connection fine through the switch-modem.
As for the pine64: if I change the OS between linux and android (i.e., from linux to android or from android to linux) it is mandatory to unplug/re-plug the modem to get an IP!!!
I first started to test the pine64 with Longsleep-based linux images, then tried more recently the android one for its stable wifi. I could not get any ethernet connection when going back to linux, even with the pine64 connected directly to the modem (cf my previous posts)... Until I decided to restart the modem... And it looks like I have to do it every time I want to change between these OSs.
Wondering what is going on.
