Oh I misread your example. Mixed the nanopi and rpi4 output.
You have trouble that EFI can't see the network? 


I don't know about that. Most people on this list boot from SD or USB AFAIK.


So I hope others will chime in.


Running 13 instead of 12 will help you after you fix the EFIboot problem though.


Regards,
Ronald.
