Ethernet connection issues
#1
I ordered two Pine64s and am connecting them via Ethernet to the same router. Using the Ubuntu Xenial base image. I worked through an issue where both cards had the exact same MAC address by doing the following:

- edited /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0:
Code:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
 hwaddress ether 00:00:00:00:00:00

For 00:00...00:00 I put a custom mac address. I then rebooted the Pine. This exact process seemed to work for one Pine board, but not the other. It's strange because for the second Pine board, I can connect fine using the default mac address, but once I change the address by editing the interface file and reboot, the ethernet fails to connect (I get no lights period from the ethernet port).

Can anyone explain to me what might be the issue? Since I am flashing both pines with the same image and executing the same steps, I can only assume there is some hardware issue that I am encountering.
