tkaiser is correct about one thing, and one thing only related to this discussion, the micro-usb connector is insufficient for providing power to the Pine board.
... the micro-usb connector is insufficient for power to the Pine boards, and its insufficient for power to the PI(s)... this has been proven empirically.
Everything else he has said about this problem is incorrect. All of my boards are powered from the bus, not via the micro-usb connector. Also, all of my boards have more than adequate power supplies; one of my boards works flawlessly (GbE), the other one (GbE) does not work at all. Both boards work flawlessly at 100mb/s. (this is NOT a software problem, and this is NOT an environment problem, nor is this a power problem)
The situation is NOT related to power. The only power related observation I have so far is that if my working board is run from battery ( because the DC IN is very clean ) the speeds go up slightly. This does not affect the non working GbE board at all )
To prove that tkaiser does not have a clue what he is talking about--- all you have to do is have everyone on the POLL list that reports having a non functioning GbE board power their Pines from the euler bus... if it fixes all boards (including mine) then I'm wrong... if it fixes no board (as well as mine) then I'm correct; Its an eay experiment.
