With wifi + Starlink + cellular as uplinks, the onboard GbE earns its keep
as a wired LAN port instead of the metric-150 ethernet WAN: eth0 leaves
netplan/NM (added to van-ap-unmanaged.conf) and joins br0 via networkd
(23-van-lan-eth0.network), so wired clients get 10.42.0.x DHCP/DNS and NAT
exactly like Wi-Fi clients. The eth WAN is gone from van-failover's config.
Cutover notes: delete the old netplan-eth0 / stray eth0 NM profiles, then
nmcli general reload + networkctl reload/reconfigure eth0. NEVER cable this
port (or the USB LAN dongle) back into an upstream LAN — dnsmasq on br0
would serve rogue DHCP there; STP stays off, so don't cable both wired LAN
ports to the same switch either.

The USB hub (5GHz + 2.4GHz AP dongles, Starlink + LAN RTL8153s) moves over
from wayback; MAC-derived wlx*/enx* names travel with it, so hostapd/
networkd/cockpit configs are unchanged. Pi diffs only: failover WAN list
(wlan0 wifi 100, eth0 150, starlink USB 200, Koodo 300), cpu_thermal
sensor, bcm2835 watchdog 10s, no HA DNAT/lease, and deploy.sh drops
battery/lid/heartbeat/ZT-dns. Netplan reference in ap/50-van-wan.yaml.
