Interesting, this is what I get from `dmesg`:

qca6174 hw2.1 target 0x05010000 chip_id 0x003405ff sub 144d:4125
firmware ver SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 api 5 features ignore-otp,
no-4addr-pad crc32 10bf8e08

I'm guessing the firmware version 1.1.1 is the latest one for the hw
2.1 variant (going off of the firmware repository), but please correct
me if I'm wrong!

Looking at the repository that version was updated 8 years ago. Is
there anything else I can try? I'm guessing newer firmware only
works on the newer hardware revisions.
