[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH][ar71xx] Mikrotik Routerboard RB2011 switch fix

[Fernando Frediani]

Out of curiosity. Dp these builds of OpenWrt for Mikrotik RBs make usage 
of any possible hardware off-loads or config customizations are CPU 
affinity possibility made by Mikrotik themselves in their original 
RouterOS ?

Thanks
Fernando
