[Battlemesh] Gigabit switch/router openwrt with SFP

Hi,

looking closely at Edge Router datasheet, there are SFP version (passive
PoE output on all 5 ports) and non-SFP version(PoE in on port 1 and PoE
out on port 5).

Unfortunately I need both in and out, but will think if this can be
useful anyhow.

Kind regards,
Musti
