Ethernet Slow Download

[amc2012]

My workaround for now is to use ASIX AX8817x Chipset USB to Gigabit ethernet adapter on the 1 out of 5 boards I have that has this problem. I got this Plugable one from Amazon.

At $25 I suppose it's a bit expensive, also going to try this V.TOP USB 3.0 at $13.99 (I know the pine64 only supports USB 2.0 speeds).

With the desktop images like MATE or XFCE it just worked. With xenial-pine64-bspkernel-20160716-1.img I had to add asix module to be loaded at boot time and add an interface entry for eth1 then it just worked. I have only tested with Ubuntu Linux distro and not Android, Arch etc. I'm getting some more micro SD cards to make it easier to test other distro without messing up my main effort to build a cluster sandbox.

I did the same to get a little more speed out of my RaspberryPi, but in this case, the entire reason for getting the PINE was for that gigabit ethernet, at least in my case. I hope someone can post some steps on a workaround to get the gigabit speed. It's been a long time since I recompiled a Linux kernel.
