No, not if it is the first boot after it has been powerless.
If I try to set the slider for Ethernet to Active, it immediately jumps back.
The next time I reboot (without powering off in between), Ethernet is shown immediately active again (and it works). It is always active after booting, just not the first time I boot after it has been powerless.
By the way: The WiFi entry is located first above the Ethernet entry.
WiFi is apparently not affected by this power outage!
If WiFi was previously set to active, it will be active again immediately after a restart (after power outage).
But in my installation 1 I have deactivated WiFi in general, but unfortunately that doesn’t help either.
But I read here:
The s905x4 needs to be running CE-NG to use this dovi.ko for DV FEL playback. DV FEL is NOT supported in CE-NE.
So maybe this is not such a good idea?
PS: Thanks for your effort!
