(ARCHIVED) Ubuntu Xenial Image (BSP Kernel)

[babolivier]

What you get:

- HDMI at 1080P
- HDMI analog audio (alsa, pulseaudio)
- Ethernet (including 1000M)
- USB
- Wifi
- Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) aarch64
- BSP Linux Kernel 3.10.65+ (see http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=293)
- BSP U-Boot (see http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=99)
- Support for all Pine64 models (512MB, 1GB, 2GB) with auto detection so Ethernet works with the same image on all models

Hi,

I'm running the Ubuntu image on my Pine64 (2GB) for a few weeks now, and noticed some troubles with the network (when playing an audio stream, there were quite a lot of buffering cuts). I have a 1Gbps download bandwidth provided by my Internet access provider, and which I can verify on my laptop. I plugged my Pine64 to my network using a category 6 RJ45 cable, in the exact same way I do for the said laptop with which I can confirm the bandiwdth I'm provided with. 

Today, I installed speedtest-cli to check if there was an actual bandwidth problem, and after several tests on the same server I'm using from my laptop, I couldn't get past 20-30Mbps. Even when using a server I'm less than 1km from gets me a similar result. Which isn't normal since the 2GB model should support up to 1000Mbps.

The upload bandwidth is also lower than usual (~250Mbps on my laptop, around 110-130Mbps on my Pine64), and I have a ping to this server way higher than usual.

There's currently no other devices in my local network, all the tests were made remotely using SSH (from my work place, while my Pine64 is at home), and I don't believe that SSH uses ~980Mbps from my download from my bandwidth.

As the image is supposed to allow me 1000M on Ethernet, why is it so low, and how can I fix this?
