+=============
+
+This package reboots the device if the mt7915-firmware hangs on ramips-mt7621
+and mediatek-filogic. It's meant as a hotfix for the mcu timeout issue:
+https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/3154
+The issue popped up with Gluon v2023.2, earlier releases are not affected.
+
+Credits go to istrator from FFMUC who found the rf_regval correlation.
+
+Create a file `modules` with the following content in your `./gluon/site/`
+directory and add these lines: 
+
+```
+GLUON_SITE_FEEDS="community"
+PACKAGES_COMMUNITY_REPO=https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/community-packages.git
+PACKAGES_COMMUNITY_COMMIT=*/missing/*
+PACKAGES_COMMUNITY_BRANCH=master
+```
+
+Now you can add the package `ffac-mt7915-hotfix` to your site.mk
+(`*/missing/*` has to be replaced by the github-commit-ID of the version you
+want to use, you have to pick it manually.)
+
+Further info on the issue this tries to prevent from happening:
+I've seen the MCU timeout issue happening as early as 16 hours of uptime.
+MCU timeouts result in WiFi not working. WiFi mesh nodes running into the
+issue go offline until they are rebooted manually while any wired node is
+still accessible via ssh.
+
+On most devices it will take days or weeks for this issue to manifest,
+while others are affected daily. This is due to the difference in clients
+that are connecting to it on a frequent base. The more people frequent
+the device the more probable it is to go offline.
+
+Also see https://github.com/freifunk-gluon/gluon/issues/3154
