Kinda upset at the lack of response to GBe issues

Yes. It seems very much like an issue with auto neg. Basically I set it to force 1000m Full Duplex on that port. If I didnt set anything, I got 0.2-1 mbps at best. This was on ubuntu, pretty sure it's the same for android though.

This is the most helpful/hopeful thing anyone has suggested so far. I now have a 5-port managed switch coming Saturday. Guess it makes sense it would be an auto-negotiate issue. If so, I still have hopes there is some kind of firmware fix that could happen for our boards. But this is a reasonable workaround if it works. Will report back this weekend. 

Cheers.

Would be very interesting to get those results. As you maybe know, i sent my board to longsleep and it worked fine in his environment, but i could not get it to stable GbE with all 4 of my routers and switches and some of them are pretty new (Fritzbox 7490 e.g.). So if you get it running with a new switch also, would be very interested in the type of switch also....

Good luck
