Research direction

Start by comparing the mt7615e initialization sequence and kernel log with issue #381, focusing on the first device's “Firmware is not ready for download” error. Reproduce on the ipTIME A8004T and verify that both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks initialize successfully without that firmware error.
