The Ethernet driver code we got from Allwinner is obviously untested 32-bit code. With the availability of the 2GB board variant an integer overflow in the specific driver has been discovered. This has been fixed in longsleep's kernel weeks ago: https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine6...6021a4484f
As far as I know both latest Android image and RemixOS image do not contain the aforementioned fix. Unfortunately the 'release notes' in the wiki are just laughable since everything that would be relevant is supressed there: http://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pine_A6...ge_Release
Simply try it out. If you're affected RemixOS will reboot. Maybe the Android image is not affected but this is then due to another bug that prevents using the whole 2 GB DRAM. At least with the first Android images only 1 GB is detected on 2 GB boards and therefore the Ethernet bug isn't triggered. So you either run in problems due to Ethernet driver crashes causing reboots or performance degradation since you can't use the full 2 GB RAM. Great, isn't it?
