No Internet over wired Ethernet

OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate.img and

Have you copied the right script.bin ? (Fedora)
OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate.img has the right uImage and script.bin for OPI-PC, ethernet should work.

I am presently "so far so good" on my compilation of 4.4 (sunxi-next)

May it rrain cheap clusters, orchestration systems, and doodad platforms today!

Kali Linux Distro is missing also Openwrt. Anyone tried to make one?

Many other distros are missing too ...
It is basicaly easy to create the specific distro if it is available for armhf. I'll probably make Kali and OpenSuse soon...

UPDATED GitHub sources.
The problem with kernel panic after building is now solved.

Successfully build a OPI-plus kernel form github sources, GOOD JOB Loboris!!

On a vanilla Ubuntu(server) 15.04 install, the enclosed toolchain with 32 bit compiler worked after:

(setting up a basic building environment)
sudo apt-get install build-essential u-boot-tools
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev

(add 32 architecture and two shared 32bit libs)
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386

"Installation on SD Card:
Copy uImage_OPI-2...to uImage"
When I open the micro-SD, both uImage_OPI-2 and uImage  are files (without extention).
I cannot copy one file to another file?
How do I " mount SD Card FAT partition (BOOT)" to follow instructions. With Win7.
Thanks

yes, already tried that , but steffen-g's kernel is probably from another source, as it is missing  ...

I don't think that there is a lot of different 3.4 kernel sources, and, anyway, all drivers must be in each repository.
Which driver(s) do you need?

After writing the .img to a sd card with  Win32DiskImager the fat (BOOT) partion is created.
If X:boot (X can be any drive letter windows chooses) does not show up in your windows explorer remove and reinsert the SD card. Now should show up as a removable drive.
Go to the removable drive with windows explorer, and delete the uImage and script.bin. Copy/paste the uImage and script of your board type and rename it  to uImage and script.bin.

Thank you for specifying the needed packages. I'll include that in README.md

mount is Linux term, on Windows just select the sd card drive (D:, E:, ...)
the file name can be with or without the extension...
you can copy one file to another, you will overwrite the destination file...
you can delete uImage, then rename uImage_OPI-2 or uImage_OPI-PLUS to uImage, the same is valid for script.bin...
