I'm still working on testing this image, but thought I would comment on a couple things before they slipped my mind.
I've flashed the eMMC on A6 and A6A BBBs and have run the flasher image as a live system by removing the flash-eMMC.txt file. The BB-BONE-AUDI-01:00A1 cape does not have a driver compiled into the kernel (A0 is there). The LCD backlight frequency of 500000 is causing audible whine (BB-VIEW4/LCD7/BB-VIEW7) when the brightness is less than 100%. I fixed this by changing the frequency defined in the dts file (32768 works, but I just chose that randomly). Which repository are these being pulled from? I can fork that, make changes, and issue a pull request if that would help. With the LCD7, I don't detect much, if any, of a change between the two versions of touchscreen drivers. I am not saying that we should discard the new version, but that the new version doesn't negatively affect the system. My thoughts, with respect to networking, are to make it easy to get a wireless connection up and running. Wicd is pretty good at that, but I notice that every 8 to 20 minutes the wireless connection is dropped. That could be the AP I am connected to, so I will continue to test with other APs. I still need to test a couple more USB adapters too. Another comment is the screen blanking. I noticed that the LCD7 goes white instead of just blanking to black. Not a problem, just noticed the change. But in trying to disable the power saving, I open the screen saver settings and am greeted with a warning message that the XScreenSaver daemon isn't running. This may give new users the impression that something is broken in the image. Is there another place to disable the screen blanking timer?
