I had to apply this fix described in the Armbian forums linked above.
I figure that the USB Network Dongle was mapped to a lower Hardware ID and the SoPine can only maintain a single network connection, thus the onboard NIC on the SoPine Module was deactivated. I figured furthermore that the switch on the Clusterboard is only powered, when at least one of the NICs on the SoPine Modules tries to communicate with it (I guess some sort of XOR gate controlling V_in or somesuch nonsense).
Since that did not happen due to the network bug the switch stayed "dark".
When I wrote my guide, the LTS was the only one that worked. I've gotten them to fix it since and add nightly builds to the download page. I also see they built a new image as of 5/3 so I'll have to test it out. All the images were working as of 5/3 but I'll have to check the new ones.
I just got both of the 5/3 (Debain and Ubuntu) images to work. I cannot duplicate the problem you're having.
