Public bug reported: I booted up the Ubuntu Server ARM64 installer USB stick on my Bananapi BPI-R3 board which has a Mediatek MT7986 SoC CPU.
I used the device tree from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt7986a-bananapi- bpi-r3.dts and with U-boot's bootefi support to boot the USB stick. After booting up I noticed the installer had no Internet connection. I did some investigation and ended up checking: cat /boot/config-6.5.0-18-generic | grep MEDIATEK ... # CONFIG_NET_VENDOR_MEDIATEK is not set ... So the Mediatek Ethernet drivers are not configured to be compiled. So can the Ubuntu 22.04 ARM64 HWE kernel be updated to support Mediatek SoC Ethernet devices? Also check the other LTS Ubuntus releases for this kernel module as well. I checked all the other devices from the device tree file and they all have the relevant kernel modules configured for compilation, so the Ethernet device is the only one not working.
