I have tried all linux distros on the wiki page and whenever the board boots the green LED is lit solid with no cable plugged in. When I plug the cable in only the green LED works and then displays activity. The orange LED does nothing. This indicates to me thst something is not right.
Now I already understand there is no standard to the ways the LEDs are setup but even I know that NO LEDs should even be lit when no cable is plugged in.
The port otherwise functions as it should.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If orange LED is not lit when plugged in, make sure your ethernet cable is a working CAT-6 cable and your router/switch supports Gigabit ethernet.
On my Rock64, when the ethernet cable is not plugged in, only the green is lit.
