andreas 4d33d1a208 Document MT7925E WiFi card swap - 5GHz AP now fully functional
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.

# These are the values that change when a USB Wi-Fi dongle, LAN adapter, or
# modem gets physically swapped (MAC-derived interface names are stable per
# physical device, but change when the device changes). Edit here and run
# `sudo ./deploy.sh` — it substitutes @TOKEN@ placeholders in the repo's
# config templates with these values before installing them.

# Find a new device's interface name after plugging it in: `iw dev` (wifi) or
