Hi.
I have installed OpenWRT ver 19.07 on 2 Alfa N5Q-PCBA.
If i connect a GBe switch to either the N5Q eth0 or eth1 port, the switch LEDs show a 10/100 Mbps link.
I guess the N5Q eth0 and eth1 external connectors are wired to phys of the AR9344 on-chip 10/100 switch,
so GMAC0 connection mode is to a port on the on-chip switch.
On the N5Q, the output from ethtool for eth0 and eth1:
root@OpenWrt:/# ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Cannot get device settings: No such device
Current message level: 0x000000ff (255)

root@OpenWrt:/# ethtool eth1

shows the AR9344 ethernet subsystem is not being set up correctly.
Does anyone know of a openwrT-supported AR9344-based product with the same mode of ethernet operation that does get set up correctly?
Then I can copy the platform data (19.07 linux 4)/dts (21.02 linux 5) to the N5Q.
Thanks.
