That's not the problem. OS images are provided by pine64.pro and on the pine64 wiki. These images base on linux-sunxi communiy's work and especially longsleep's work/scripts. Longsleep took care that appropriate settings are used and that issues get fixed (for example assigning a static MAC address based on the random MAC address the driver chose) so using his original Ubuntu Xenial image (emphasis on ORIGINAL!!!) you don't run into these two still present network problems.
What has happened in the meantime? 'Official' images do not contain the fixes (or it takes ages to adopt the necessary bug fixes), countless other images got spitten out with bad settings and adding even such silly mistake as 'same MAC address on every device'. (that's just weird and destroying other's good work)
Then a bug tracker is installed that 'accepts' exactly this silly mistake as a bug. And instead of fixing the issue these 'bug reports' simply decay over there. The problem is not technical infrastructure, the problem is ignorance and confusion constantly being spread. And an attitude by some 'opinion leaders' here that prevent any progress. Fortunately for Pine64 development it's absolutely irrelevant what happens here. It's just the average users that are suffering from this. Development happens somewhere else while users here are cut off from (relying on outdated stuff using bad settings since they are kept away from the good stuff like longsleep's ORIGINAL OS image, the ones in pine64 wiki base on his work but added the MAC address flaw!).
Enough time wasted here again. When I come up with Pine64+ NAS benchmarks with FreeBSD and mainline kernel I post them to Armbian forum, feel free to link to then.
