thanks for the hint - by "forcing 100M mode" you mean "ethtool –s eth0
speed 100 duplex full"?
Do you know more about this issue (or do you just know the
workaround)? It'd be interesting to know which "driver" does not
support Gbit speeds (as there are three drivers involved: realtek PHY
driver, stmmac and Meson stmmac glue driver
