Hi Andrew,

there must be something I am not doing, doing it wrong. I got it
installed, but I see no network interfaces at all, only the USB I placed
there.

Can you send me the diff you told in the first email? I used the img
NANOPI-R5S_EFI.img on the sdcard and I can boot OpenBSD fine, just no
network interfaces.

Thanks for the help,

matheus
