Hi Guidol, thank you. Your suggestions work. I now have a fast working Armbian with ethernet on my noanopi-a64. Good work.

Guidol, congratulations in this great succes. I downloaded both Armbian-images en tried them. Unfortunately only one usb-port was working and there was never any audio-codec detected. I tried to use several sd-cards but these problems remained. I don't know if there are different versions of the nan...

My expertise on this issue is very limited, but could it not also be a uboot problem? Something like this:http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-1-1-net-phy-realtek-Add-support-for-RTL8211DN-and-RTL8211E-phy-modules-td159607.html?

@lex. Thank you for your reply. I'm afraid the monitor goes black -in sleeping mode- after it is turned on for a short while by u-boot, which is triggered in my opinion by a kernelpanic. My usb-keyboard is also rendered unresponsive after this. But it's a wild guess ofcourse. I don't have a HDMI-mon...
