The 1 gigabit port (eth2) has always worked for me. eth3 (1 / 2.5 Gb/s
also works, at least when I took the time to test it, in 1 Gigabit mode
as I don't have 2.5 Gb/s gear). The 10 Gb/s ports not per se. With
Ubuntu Focal eth0 does work, but eth1 does not.

As soon as I have figured out the "flashkernel" script in Ubuntu I might
be able to obtain a current DTB for mainline kernel to test out new XDP
support in there (should bump performance to > 9 Gb/s up from the 4.5
Gb/s it is now).
