I believe the problem is with the internal ethernet. I attached an
old USB Realtek ethernet adapter I have and the following occured:

Then I plugged a cable in (that at first kept popping out as the tab is broken on it):

So you can see that the Realtek is working, but the internal Cubieboard ethernet is not.
This ethernet is working in both the F19 and F20 remixes. Its MAC addr is local scope.
Now that a connection is up I can install a few things to try...
Networkmanager will not automatically activate onboard nics
(for security) reasons, where as it will activate hotplugged ones.
To activate the onboard nic do:
nmcli c add type 802-3-ethernet ifname eth0
And from then on nm will automatically activate the nic onboot.
