A lastest "known to work config" can be found at [0].

But you need to boot with device tree, then it depends on plus model or
not, see [1] or [2]. You need to tell your bootloader where the device
tree file is found. Also the device tree file is usually a binary
format, you need to convert the dts file with dtc to some dtb file.



Or do you mean mainline networking support? This doesn't work on my side, too.
