I don't experience anything like that with the Wanboards, the network and sdcard support seems solid. That's both in the u-boot that came with the boards and in the ones I build myself from source. The Utilite u-boot should be using all the same code as the Wandboards for that stuff, it's all generic imx6 support code with just a few lines of board-specific stuff in u-boot. -- Ian
