A64 is supported by newest kernels, with some bits needed for display mainlined only very recently. Sometimes Icenowy's tree works when mainline doesn't. ATF (package atf-allwinner) has patches for Teres included, but is untested. No idea about u-boot; I suspect mainline should work but it's just a wild guess. You'd better ask on debian-arm (@lists.debian.org, IRC:OFTC). All of the above bits happen long before any init is loaded, thus there's no difference between Devuan and Debian. I'd expect you'll need some manual steps such as "copy the dtb into the proper place" -- but way too often before getting 100% natively packaged you use vendor u-bootage and/or kernel with your own userspace, there's no shame in doing so.

Good morning! I am trying to use a laptop (Dell Latitude 7390 2-in-1) with Dell's K17A USB-C docking station. It appears that the docking station uses an RTL8153 chip for Ethernet, and it seems to initialize just fine. Wicd doesn't seem to recognize it, however. Furthermore, I can't find a node in /dev that appears to align with this device. Therefore, I don't know how to configure the device in /etc/network/interfaces, and I don't know how to configure Wicd for it. As an additional tidbit, the device gets renamed upon initialization from eth0 to enx (string of numbers). I don't know if that's relevant, but it's the first time I've seen it. At the very least, I'd like help understanding if this is a device/driver problem, a wicd problem, or a user problem. Thank you.

The working mechanism is more low level. Now, open unencrypted connections are supported although there is still an issue that sometimes prevents auto-connect from working. A better approach would be to use a list of preferred wifi-hotspots with ordered priority and for users to choose the if and when to connect.
