LAN/NIC problem

[MarkHaysHarris777]

tkaiser has a lot of knowledge.

Not regarding electrics/electronics and the stuff we're talking about. I only have some experiences. Made with a non-working board a few days ago. PSU/voltage was key.

Here the users are around that could help nailing down the problem. Unfortunately one person prevents that all the time. I can not write more since it gets deleted again. He censored a few hours ago the last try to encourage users to measure PHY_VDD33 on their boards while not using Fast Ethernet hacks/'fixes' (since then it's absolutely useless, this has to happen in GbE mode). That's the real problem unfortunately.

What are you talking about ?

... if you would bother to read my post directly above yours you would notice that I not only encouraged others to measure the PHY_VDD33 , but told them how I did that , and I gave you my results of that measurement ( in GbE mode ).  All voltages normal, solid, and stable.

To prove a claim to be false, all that is needed is one case.  I have proven that the VDD33 voltage is not the problem. Why do you keep insisting that it is?  This makes little sense.

Do YOU have a solution yet ?

Since the thread is opened again (thanks TL Lim for not allowing that Pine64 community gets totally destroyed) I will now post my answer here that got rejected some hours ago since you did what you do all the time: closing threads, censoring stuff, banning users.

And all you do is constantly censoring everything that is beyond your imagination and discourage users to try this out ('I have proven that the VDD33 voltage is not the problem'). How did you do that and when? Isn't your board on its way to TL Lim: https://irclog.whitequark.org/linux-sunx...9#17502646; (or is he speaking of someone else?).
 
Anyway: I'm pretty confident that you don't get why it could be important to accept other issues than those your 'expert soldering eyes' are able to see. And that's the reason you should resign from your moderator role rather sooner than later.

BTW: In this thread alone 3 users haven been banned (temporarely), countless postings have been censored or completely deleted and all because one person who is enabled to act as a censor didn't accept that the whole issue could also be about 'environmental' conditions (the PSU being used). Congratulations!

Hear hear,... Thanks for thay tkaiser wouldn't dare to say it myself.... Was banned till few hours ago,  for a post containing amongst other things yet another link to the olimex gbe autoneg patch.

Tkaiser... You need that measured oscilloscope style (talking about ripples) ,  or would the difference be great enough for a multimeter?

hi waldo, yes, you absolutely need a scope !

... but the scope won't help much with my board... its got a clean VDD33 line and it does not work in GbE mode.  

(no a multimeter won't get it)
