@Tido, Armbian is way better at this than we are. Right now apt-get update only updates the debian packages and not the kernel, u-boot, and any other image fixes. If you are using standard Ubuntu, Armbian is the way to go.
 
We have purchased a domain which we will package some u-boots and kernels but that won't happen until a non-preview release. Hence, why our images are "preview" releases rather formal releases. We anticipate the formal releases to happen around the time 18.04 comes out. Our images will have a different target than Armbian since we will be including some specific support for ecosystem components like FPGAs and HATs and our target markets. Armbian will be the more generic distro for these boards.

Ethernet Patch definitely made my potato solid.  I'm running fresh image now, with consul, nomad, docker and Jira running in a container..  def much faster than on my Opi2e.
 
Thanks for the patches!

BayLibre says they're close to a fix. It's an issue with EEE capability being mis-detected.

Good, please tell me if an issue appears with this patchset ! I cleaned it up because it was insane !
