# GL.INet GL-AR750 "Creta" travel router
# - QCA9531 @650Mhz SoC
# - dual band wireless: IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
# - two 10/100Mbps LAN ports and one WAN
# - 128MB DDR2 RAM / 16MB NOR Flash
# - "ath79" soc family
# https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar750/
# I like GL.iNet devices because they're relatively accessible to
# DIY users: the serial port connections have headers preinstalled
# and don't need soldering
# Mainline linux 5.19 doesn't have device-tree support for this device
# or even for the SoC, so we use the extensive OpenWrt kernel patches
