No USB-ethernet device is usable. I’ve tried USB 1.1, 2.0 & 3.0 devices. Relevant modules are loaded, according to lsmod, but setup is unable to find any usable device to use as the second ethernet.
A USB storage device is found and working.
Nanopi R1, which uses an internal USB-ethernet device, is working OK
Sorry I cannot reproduce this on my bananapi with the current master image

The red interface is the Realtek USB Adapter.

Have you used the correct power connector and a sufficient power supply?
I’m running the onboard NIC as red0, with static addressing from a modem/router and the USB-ethernet as green0. Similar setup working OK on x86_64 mini-PC with core 165 testing.
Bananpi is powered by a 2.1 A USB supply, via a micro-USB charging cable. I’ll try swapping supplies and cables.
Upgrade was done approximately 02:00 UTC, 16 Mar, so I assume it was Index of /master/2022-03-15 17:53:40 +0000-e41bb76c/armv6l, but can’t confirm, in absence of WUI. Also can’t get well presented output from “screen”, in the absence of WUI. Attaching a PNG.
There is a message “Command line is not complete” associated with attempt to bring up green0. Perhaps I should try fresh install of the nightly build to another SD card.

usbnet module is no longer being loaded. Device currently plugged is an AX88772A, which is found on other Linux machines, as well as by IPFire on x86_64 mini-PC.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I re-installed, using the latest https://nightly.ipfire.org/master/2022-03-16%2016:01:50%20+0000-6b10e08a/ That made no difference.
I then replace the 5V power supply with a new, 3A unit, having fixed cable. That resolved the issue. I suspect that the charger cable I was using had too much voltage drop to power a 5V device. That requires further investigation.
The asix AX88772A still does not work, but it does not on a Tumbleweed laptop either. I’ve seen other reports of issues with asix adapters. Other USB-ethernet adapters are working.
