On the MacchiatoBin we don't support the onboard ethernet yet. On the EspressoBin we do support the ethernet controller, but the connected switch is a mess that I don't dare to support. Got other stuff to do. Though I am working on partial EspressoBin support for the upcoming Turris Mox. That said, if 32-bit ARM is OK look at the Clearfog Base. If you're willing to spend a bit more, SolidRun has nice 64-bit machines. But on those we still need to write the ethernet driver. Patrick
