		Hi friends, 
I'm totally new to pine, and trying to bring up my RockPro64 for the first time.
I managed to concatenate and burn the Debian net install images and boot from MicroSD.
However, early in the install process, network configuration through DHCP fails.
I played around with manual settings with no progress.
Then I checked dmsg and found this fairly ominous DMA error:
eth0: PHY [stmmac-0:00] driver [RTL8211F Gigabit Ethernet] (irq=POLL)
Failed to reset the dma
eth0: stmmac_hw_setuo: DMA engine initialization failed
eth0: stmmac_open: Hw setup failed.
anyone have any ideas on how I might progress? I do have the wireless adaptor, so in theory I could also try that (or remove that?)
