E8450/RT3200 gigabit speeds tweaking?

There is not "official" ubi installer other than daniel's, right? And therefore no other way to convert to ubi from the official repositories, right?

That is right.
And as discussed with @daniel two days ago, it is pretty difficult to modify the OpenWrt build system to produce also the UBI installer, so likely it will stay as a separate "un-official" item even after the 22.0x release, even if the UBI sysupgrade release images are "official".

Integrating the generation of the installer image into the current OpenWrt git tree would require quite a lot of structural changes. Currently we don't have a way to generate a specific per-device initramfs, and including yet another initramfs image as well as other build artifacts in an initramfs image (the installer) is completely out of scope. What I was planning to do is simply to generate an installer based on 22.03.0 once it gets released. I agree that forcing boot into recovery image ba…

But yeah, the situation is pretty bizarre: the UBI variant makes sense and is the preferred variant for the popular RT3200/E8450, but its installer can't easily be built as an official release item.
