Preface: Running A64+ 2GB board with a 16GB Sandisk class 10 card running Android Rooted 5.1.1 2016/05/05 release found here.

How does one enable ethernet within android? I can get the wifi working just fine however I can't seem to find any options to enable/configure ethernet within the OS.

The only thing close I can find is under data usage you can track data over ethernet, however every time I click it the settings panel crashes.

I've tried using both in 1Gbps and 100mbps mode (by using a switch, verified to be working at 100mbps with other hardware) and the Ethernet just won't work. 

Anyone had any luck getting the ethernet working within android on this board?

I had no issues. I have the 1GB board version and wrote my android-rooted-ver5.1.1-20160505-pine64-8GB.img with dd.
I have an old cheap netgear switch GS108

Here is my settings... wifi is off currently.

It turned out to be an issue the DHCP service running on my router, ethernet is working fine now.
