CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe - jumbo 9k not working

I have very simple setup using 10G 10GTek Intel compatible DAC between CCR2004-pcie and CRS317 and it doesn't seem to s...

No but seriously, can we expect some router with QSFP+? It'd be really nice to be able to get inter-vlan-routing on those QSFP+ switches at 40G speed. Maybe some port setup like 2x QSFP+ and 4x or 8x 10G. It'd be nice upgrade. Or at least 1x QSFP+ and lets say 8x 10G. 80G -> 120G capacity upgrade so...

Can anyone from MikroTik confirm the antenna are removable on SMA or something? 2.4 uses standard R11e card like this one: https://mikrotik.com/product/R11e-2HnD so it has the same connectors for antennas as R11e. 5ghz idk but I believe they'll be removable as well. Probably with the same connector...
