Dear Maintainer,

I have a A20 OLinuXino-Lime computer. I used its image from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/
however the network didn't work.
I could install Debian using the A20 OLinuXino-Lime2 image.

Which image did you use ? firmware.A20-OLinuXino-Lime.img.gz ?

I could install Debian using the A20 OLinuXino-Lime2 image.

Are you sure it is a A20-OLinuXino-Lime and not a A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 ?

Early A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 boards are marked as "A20-OLinuXino-Lime", not "Lime2". A20-OLinuXino-Lime has one DRAM chip (U1) and a RTL8201CL
10/100 PHY (U2) on the top side whereas A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 has two DRAM
chips (U2, U3) on the top side and a RTL8211CL/E or KSZ9031 10/100/1000
PHY (U5) on the bottom side.

You can see A20 Lime and Lime2 board pictures at <https://linux-sunxi.org/Olimex_A20-OLinuXino-Lime> (the board is marked
"A10" but the SoC is A20) and <https://linux-sunxi.org/Olimex_A20-OLinuXino-Lime2>.
