The weird thing is that it seems to be working? Either I misdiagnosed the problem, or maybe my old one was just broken.

    Man that reminds me that I bought a Chinese motherboard to build my homelab and installed Debian. Great! One kernel upgrade later and my network card stopped working. Tried a lot of things but to preserve my mental health and to enjoy my jellyfin again, I just returned to the older kernel and voilá, everything worked again…so no updates for now …or ever

      Sounds like a rockchip board like orangepi haha. It’s funny because they actually have some killer hardware, but documentation on kernel drivers and DTB boot chain is sketchy at best.

      Same happened with me and a USB video capture card I bought specifically for Debian Linux compatibility. One kernel upgrade later… doesn’t work. Try again on old kernel? Works. I’ll probably try in a few months, but I can’t be bothered now.
