Beelink-Mini-MX-2G RTL8211F Ethernet TX fix #127
Description
Hi, I would like to provide the solution to the problem I had with my Beelink-Mini-MX-2G and help anyone who may have the same problem. The ethernet TX was not working properly.
I managed to fix it by converting the meson-gxbb-vega-s95-telos.dtb file to dts (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21670967/how-to-compile-dts-linux-device-tree-source-files-to-dtb), changing line 1207
- amlogic,tx-delay-ns = <0x02>;
+ amlogic,tx-delay-ns = <0x04>;
and then converting it back to dtb.
In short, you have to add 2ns to the TX for it to work properly.

I don't know if this is unique to my device or if all Beelink-Mini-MX-2G have this problem with telos.dtb.
I hope it helps.
@ophub, THANK YOU VERY MUCH for allowing us to continue using our Android TV boxes.
P.S.: I don't know if this was the right place to post the solution. I thought that more people can see it here. If it's not, please move it to the right place.
