I got orange pi plus and Orange Pi PC.

All distro works fine in orange pi plus. However, orange pi pc I tried many but only the debian 8 works. I did copy the correct uImage and script.bin.

Do I need to copy the kernel modules?

I used OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate and once I removed the network connection and add it again - and network works fine again. Also configured DHCP on local network router.

try the following (as root):

modprobe rt2800usb
echo 2001 3c1e > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id

then insert wifi stick and see if it is detected and can be used

..also make sure you are using an image with the older udev (v.215), so firmware loading works correctly

No, just from this dialog


Now I installed Fedora22_Minimal, copied
uImage_OPI-2 to uImage
script.bin.OPI-PC_1080p60_dvi to script.bin
and wired network started automatically

I've just discovered that ethernet MAC address are not unique. Is there an easy way to change it? Using cmdline.txt ?Thanks

Is there anything I can check with?
