Andre,

I checked again the kernel at https://github.com/hardkernel/linux/tree/
odroidc2-3.14.y. The version you mention (3.14.65-73) seems to be:
sha1: c75d5f4d1516cdd86d90a9d1c565bb0ed9251036
tag: jenkins-deb s905 kernel-73

In this particular version, both realtek drivers:
- drivers/net/phy/realtek.c
- drivers/amlogic/ethernet/phy/am_realtek.c

have the hack to disable 1000M advertisement. I don't understand how it
possible for you to have 1000Base-T Full Duplex with this, maybe I'm
missing something here ?

If you did compile the kernel yourself, could you check the 2 file
mentioned above ? Just to be sure there was no patch applied at the
last minute, which would not show up in the git history of hardkernel ?

Thx

Jerome
