+1 for finally releasing. Our wireless mesh community is testing OpenWrt 21.02-snapshot now for months.
Only some trouble with ipq40xx soc, but we have workarounds for it.

Hi,

We did the 21.02-rc4, but there is still a problem with flow offloading as this
was not fixed. The other problems should be fixed now.

Currently we still have these problem:

- IPv6 broken with flow offloading (according to reports, potentially
related to hw flow offloading)
- PPPoE allegedly broken (according to reports, not fully
reproducible, likely related to hw flow offloading too)
    - https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=3909
    - https://bugs.openwrt.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=3835

Some more information can be found here:

It could be that this change causes the problems:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/patch/20180720130906.27687-
3-pa...@netfilter.org/

I do not know how much time and interest I have in debugging and fixing this
problem. If someone wants to have a closer look into this problem it would
be really nice. even when you can make it easier to reproduce it in a test
environment it would be nice.

Should we just release with this as a known problem?
Although my opinion should not be given much weight in this context, I'd also prefer a 
"quick" release, for about the same reasons as Hannu has given in his e-mail.

As I understand it, disabling offloading will give you a working device, so 
it's fair enough.

Best

Adrian

Other than this problem I am not aware of any other critical problem.
