[Starlink] something of a step backwards

[Jonathan Bennett]

They are putting the PoE supply in the router -- no more power brick. I

standardized PoE++ equipment. They do offer an add-on Ethernet adapter, and
have promised a bridged mode. That at least gets us back to the
functionality we have now.
