Its better than before, getting at least some throughput (about 10mbits) but thats still much worse than FastEthernet (94mbits) and ways too slow for GbE.
Androsch - Have you swapped out your power supply with something different, and capable of supplying higher current?
I've got 5 pine64's (2Gb + GbE) and all of them work great at GbE speeds - the only times they had networking issues was when I was using inferior power supplies. The ones I was originally using were rated for 5V2A and yet when I replaced them with a higher-quality supply, my networking issues went away.
Hi, just tried with a new 5V/3A supply using longsleeps new gmac-kernel and now its at least about

Its still not too good and many retries, but at least more than the old FastEthernet speed
