I'm not sure but I've got a feeling it might have resized the
partition but not the filesystem. The former has to be done before
anything is mounted where the later can be done online with resize2fs.
What does "fdisk -l /dev/STORAGE-DEV report? If it's a using all the
disk you can just use resize2fs to fix the issue.

Which kernel? I seem to remember there might have been issues with the
kernel shipped as GA for the wandboard in some cases with network but
TBH it was a long time ago, I would suggest possibly getting the
latest kernel [1] putting it on a usb stick and updating it and see if
that helps.
