I have an "old" MK808b and installed LE with your images. WLAN is working fine, but the USB-LAN is not working.

The v3.10 kernel does not yet include support for the Realtek RTL8153 USB3.0 Ethernet.

Related file in kernel: https://github.com/kszaq/linux/blob/amlogic-3.10.y/drivers/net/usb/r8152.c

The kernel we use includes driver version v1.0.0 (2013/05/03), the minimum required version is v1.03.0 (2013/12/26) which should support RTL8153. I'm looking into the possibility of a simple driver update, please be patient.

I added a PR with the updated driver: https://github.com/dtechsrv/LibreELEC-AML/pull/22.
