# 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
