This is also something I wanted to test out (NFS and general network tunables) but no Pine64+ left to test with and fortunately two Pine64+ are on it's way (thanks TL Lim!).
Good luck with the new ones. My replacement also had the GbE issue. Manufacture date was a couple days away from my kickstarter board. I will say the chip soldering on this one looks MUCH better than the first board I received, even though it was made only a couple days later.
