Public bug reported: At least in Ubuntu 19.04, the arm64 kernel (linux-image-5.0.0) is not building CONFIG_MVPP2 (depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU) - a driver for network controllers(s) in Marvell SOCs, particularly Armada 8040 - neither as a model or a built-in:
$ uname -m aarch64 $ grep MVPP2 /boot/config-5.0.0-20-generic $ It makes very hard (and impossible for non-advanced users) to install and use Ubuntu on the Macchiatobin board (http://macchiatobin.net/) - a reasonably priced and performant server/mini-desktop platform. Could it be added, please, and the installer image re-generated. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: disco -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1835054 Title: Missing NIC driver for Armada 8040 (Macchiatobin) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: At least in Ubuntu 19.04, the arm64 kernel (linux-image-5.0.0) is not building CONFIG_MVPP2 (depends on CONFIG_ARCH_MVEBU) - a driver for network controllers(s) in Marvell SOCs, particularly Armada 8040 - neither as a model or a built-in: $ uname -m aarch64 $ grep MVPP2 /boot/config-5.0.0-20-generic $ It makes very hard (and impossible for non-advanced users) to install and use Ubuntu on the Macchiatobin board (http://macchiatobin.net/) - a reasonably priced and performant server/mini-desktop platform.
