Kiwi SDR Stopped Communicating with LAN [likely the known BBG Ethernet failure issue]
I purchased my KiwiSDR/Beaglebone on April 19 from Amazon, set it up about a week later, it ran fine from April 26 to May 14, then would not connect to LAN.
Since I am frequently away from home for extended periods, I was unable to do anything until Friday May 18. when I got it going by doing a power down/power up reboot. (worked fine over local LAN and remotely over the internet.
However, two days later (Sunday May 20) I left again for an extended period and the KiwiSDR stopped responding over the internet. Other devices connected to the same router and switch respond normally.
The problem is that I will I will not be back home until June 10 or 11, I imagine that in my absence I have burned through any available warranty time.
Thoughts?

At the moment I can not see the ethernet LEDs as I am 200kM away, but I should know by mid June
I just ordered a second KiwiSDR from Massdrop, I liked it so much that I wanted a spare!
