I think we still have multiple boards where the MAC addresses are broken.

We should fix these boards and backport the changes to the 24.10 branch too.

OpenWrt 24.10.0 final is tagged and building.

I will probably announce the release on 5. February.

@Paul and Eric: please check in about 20 hours that ASU is working like 
expected.

We should do a OpenWrt 24.10.1 in about 4 weeks. Feel free to backport 
fixes.
