Hello,

the networking issue with Revision J shouldn't occur anymore with
the u-boot version in testing/unstable.  You could replace the
u-boot on your SD card with the version from unstable by running
the following commands on the A20-Olinuxino-Micro:

$ wget https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armhf/daily/u-boot/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin.gz
$ gunzip u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin.gz
$ sudo dd bs=1k seek=8 if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl of=/dev/mmcblk0

Afterwards the GPIO workaround described in the forum post
mentioned above shouldn't be necessary any more.

HTH,
Karsten
