Without SwOS it would probably be an unmanaged reverse-PoE switch (assuming the switch chip has some sane power-up defaults), limited (no VLANs etc.) but still somewhat useful. Before the netpower lite 7R there were chinese reverse-PoE switch boards but I coulnd’t find them nicely packaged in an outdoor case which is what MT did and I appreciate it, so I don’t have to roll my own ugly outdoor boxes anymore. If source was published with change history, it would be possible to find the specific commit that broke the Hosts table and revert just that, while keeping other changes that fix bugs or add new features. I’m also pretty sure the community would help with more bug fixes and new features. Hey, no password hashing in 2024 - even if using the old Unix V7 crypt() it would be better than nothing. I wouldn’t be asking for the source if it was properly maintained, but it doesn’t seem to be. New release is made that introduces an obvious easily reproducible bug (which shouldn’t have passed the QA if there was any), and no fix in a few months. All I got from the report to support@ was the auto-ack with the SUP number, but no follow-up from any live person - not even the usual “we are working on it, but can’t give any ETA”.
