[Cerowrt-devel] a smart SFP

[Sebastian Moeller]

Hi Dave,


this thread https://www.computerbase.de/forum/threads/eigenes-modem-an-ftth-anschluss-via-sfp-gpon-modul.2061989/ (in German) has some instructions how to get root on one type of SFP ONU... (I was monitoring that thread for general interest, turns out the intel falcon plattform seems somehow based on an ancient OpenWrt)

Regards
	Sebastian
