I found a bunch of forums/wikis/tutorials which describe issues that would prevent hw offload, but I don’t see any of the common mistakes in my config. I’m not even sure I really need hw offload, but I’m afraid I may have done something wrong if that is not working. I have a HEX (MT7621A). Here is (I think) the relevant config:

Should I be concerned that the HW offload indicator is not set? Is there anything obviously wrong so far? Thanks!
