After reading from June '16 until February '17 I think it makes sense to start at the last steps /improvements.
I've been using the 5.24 nightly builds for a while (now I'm back on the 5.25 main builds) I've managed some working network configs that everyone can find on this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ciiun8n56c46q2n/AACfXvu5cEoZS5jbO6Xc5L4Ha?dl=0
Add those into /etc/network folder and they should work ('interfaces' and 'lamobo-r1' files). I only tested the ppp router configuration since that is all I need but feel free to test the other ones as you please and reply with the needed changes or the confirmation that they work.
For those who are curious, the second archive in the dropbox share named w1-therm.tar.gz is a script that I used to patch the dtb so I wouldn't have to go at each upgrade through this process: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/993-ds18b20-temperature-sensor-in-lamobo-r1/#entry16089
In the 5.24 nightly the directory for networking looks like this (the network folder and the few below this branch):
Looking back to my manual I deleted the VLAN file and created my own.
Then I see here: ifenslave | ethtool | ip | several 'interfaces'
and I was wondering does it need all that for a working VLAN with DSA=Distributed Switch Architecture ?

DSA
SWITCH configuration - is necessary to create network-traffic rules.
VLANs work by applying a tag to each frame sent through the network.
This script has not been tested yet, but it is the shortest I found for "router-configurartion" in the aforementioned threads.
What do I want to do, or did i do in the past:
- WLAN & LAN (1-4) are connected with the bridge.
- WAN as a Gateway to the internet
nano /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/dsa !/bin/sh #-------------------------------# # BPI-R1 DSA VLAN configuration # #-------------------------------# # # This will create the following ethernet ports: # - eth0.101 = WAN (single port) # - eth0.102 = LAN (4 port switch) # # # interface.as_router: ip link add br0 type bridge ip link set lan1 master br0 ip link set lan2 master br0 ip link set lan3 master br0 ip link set lan4 master br0 ip link set wan master br0 ip link set wlan0 master br0 ip link add link eth0 name eth0.101 type vlan id 101 ip link add link eth0 name eth0.102 type vlan id 102 bridge vlan add vid 101 dev wan pvid untagged bridge vlan del vid 102 dev wan ip link set lan1 up ip link set lan2 up ip link set lan3 up ip link set lan4 up ip link set wan up ip addr add 192.168.9.2/24 dev eth0.101 ip addr add 192.168.9.1/24 dev eth0.102 ip link set eth0.101 up ip link set eth0.102 up ip route add default via 192.168.9.2 dev eth0.101
I don't know: how it now works with those 'tag'. I was used to NAT(Network Address Translation), is this now replaced or are both necessary?
Can you help to test and improve it?
Cheers
