Hello list,
finally the switch in the TP-Link TL-WR741N(D) (and probably other devices
based von AR7140) is not blocking broadcasts any more and thus allows to get an
IP via DHCP.
But my question is left to be answered. Does this bridge which is created over
the LAN-ports really mean that the CPU is doing the bridging?? Performance-wise
this would be a bad behaviour.
Regards
Dennis

Today in revision 19927 switch support for AG7240 has been committed. I'll try
that. Buildroot is running at the moment.

could be an explanation.
What I understand from the commit 19930 is, that bridging is now done in CPU on
this switch? Am I right?
