Yay.
I am curious though: With the am3359-evmsk board I see no network traffic
with gigabit link and the 3.16 (or 4.0) kernel, but I do see traffic at
100Mbit link speed. Does anyone with a beaglebone see the same behaviour?
Using the TI sdk kernel does work at gigabit speed, so the hardware
seems fine.
