Document MT7925E WiFi card swap - 5GHz AP now fully functional

Browse Source 
Replaced RTL8822CE with Mediatek MT7925E PCIe WiFi card. The mt76 driver
(MT7925E) properly supports AP bridge mode, unlike rtw88 (RTL8822CE).

R5C is now PRODUCTION-READY:
- 5GHz AP on channel 149 with 802.11ac/ax support
- WiFi clients bridge properly and receive DHCP
- Ethernet failover fully functional
- NAT/routing configured

RTL8822CE limitation: bridging in AP mode not supported by rtw88 driver.
MT7925E solution: mt76 driver stack supports full bridge forwarding.
