Right, I was thinking the same, maybe the cubietruck needs that too, but for 
some reason
the problem on the bananapi is worse ?

Bruno, if you look at the u-boot sources board/sunxi/gmac.c, atline 32 there is 
a:

#ifdef CONFIG_BANANAPI

Try replacing this with #if 1, and then build and install u-boot and re-try 
things on your cubietruck.
Note this will influence the kernel too, as the kernel does not touch those 
bits.

Regards,

Hans
