VLANs and CPU(eth0), CPU(eth1)

Lots of good info. Thanks! Glad I asked.
To summarize, in plain access point mode, it should not matter whether a single eth is used, which one is used or if both of them are used for different VLANs.

I've seen some chatter about irqbalance and distributing the load across cores, does having 2 eth ports help with that? I'm just curious how it all works at this point.
