Netgear R7800 exploration (IPQ8065, QCA9984)

I know @slh had some issues with PPPoE. This post is all the way back from 2017:

@slh

But it has been MIA for a while now. (You have to ask john for details. It could be because it relies on netdev patches that are a pain to backport, so the new ethernet driver will have to wait for 4.14, which could be “soon” - but this is all speculation on my part.)

There is apparently also an undebugged issue with qca8k and PPPoE traffic, which make the driver crash at the moment.

There has been one more attempt at introducing multi-core CPU support to DSA, but it doesn't look like it made it past the RFC stage:

[PATCH RFC net-next 0/3] Multi-CPU DSA support — Netdev

@Ansuel

The vlan issue i think should be easily fixed in theory (there is a patch that has been proposed upstream for vlan hardware support)

Good, that's one less thing to potentially worry about.
