My Wi-Box came with the wrong credentials in the box (as confirmed by the hostapd.conf...), so that + #31 (still investigating) forced me to do more tinkering than usual to get the device working.
This issue will track a documentation PR on how to enable Ethernet support. However, I'm having issues with it.
eth0 is unusable on real network
The eth0 interface has the static IP address 192.168.1.10, and it works perfectly when connected directly to a computer, and is stable.
However, when I connect it into an unmanaged gigabit switch, on an isolated network along with existing IoT devices, the device locks up randomly and even the telnet connection is unusable. Yes, the rest of the devices on that switch work perfectly (including my test computer). As an example, this is how the device responds to pings: randomly taking several seconds then returning to being instant.

It seems that some broadcast/multicast requests are hogging the device. I need some help to sort this out, does anybody have any idea what could be going on, or any clues on how I should proceed to debug it?
