Hello Guys,
I have bought a Banana Pi R1 board with a plan to use it as my gateway server/router and to replace a full-size PC which was doing the job until now . It has , beside the regular banana hardware , a SATA interface and most importantly 5 Ethernet ports (1 wan connection and 4 LAN connections) . My plan is to make it a router/firewall server as well as ods-and-ends,print,http,file etc... machine . I was pleased to see that Fedora 21 supports banana pi straight out of the box , so I rushed out and installed the minimal version . All was good as far as getting the banana r1 booted and talking , however one crucial part does not work at the moment . And that is wired networking , it seems that the drivers are not working or are missing. I have been able to get it connected via an old USB-Ethernet adapter which was recognised immediately. Can you please help in getting the networking working , I can assist in providing prints , compiling software . Any assistance is much appreciated .
Best Regards Milorad
