ath79: add support for ZyXEL NWA1123-NI Specifications: * AR9342, 16 MiB Flash, 64 MiB RAM, 802.11n 2T2R, 2.4 GHz * AR9382 PCIe card, 802.11n 2T2R, 5 GHz * 1x Gigabit Ethernet (AR8035), 802.3af PoE Installation: * OEM Web UI is at 192.168.1.2 login as `admin` with password `1234` * Flash factory-AAEO.bin The string `AAEO` needs to be present within the file name of the uploaded image to be accepted by the OEM Web-based updater, the factory image is named accordingly to save the user from the hassle of manual renaming. TFTP Recovery: * Open the case, connect to TTL UART port (this is the official method described by Zyxel, the reset button is useless during power-on) * Extract factory image (.tar.bz2), serve `vmlinux_mi124_f1e.lzma.uImage` and `mi124_f1e-jffs2` via tftp at 192.168.1.10 * Interrupt uboot countdown, execute commands `run lk` `run lf` to flash the kernel / filesystem accordingly MAC addresses as verified by OEM firmware: use address source LAN *:fb mib0 0x30 ('eth0mac'), art 0x1002 (label) 2g *:fc mib0 0x4b ('wifi0mac') 5g *:fd mib0 0x66 ('wifi1mac')
