So, the complete re-flash from the recovery mode and rewriting the bl2_qspi_xg1_1g.pbl as you told me helped on the kernel side. There’s no error anymore, yet there seem to be quirks, probably on the software side.
According to the docs, the modules should be enabled on OpenWRT, but they aren’t sending data, even if they’re now recognized by Ten64.
I’ve tried to enable them manually according to the doc, and that fails.
root@OpenWrt:~# echo 369 > /sys/class/gpio/export
ash: write error: Resource busy
root@OpenWrt:~# echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio369/direction

root@OpenWrt:~#
root@OpenWrt:~# echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio369/value
-ash: can't create /sys/class/gpio/gpio369/value: nonexistent directory
Things in the log seem to be going correctly for the modules the provider recommends.

Now I am conducting tests on laptop Ethernet with a simple media converter and a couple module pair types.
First, if I connect the 2nd media converter to the Ethernet, things are good: 923.64 Mbps download and 102.08 Mbps upload.
Next, I move the SFP module to a Ten64 SFP module port and leave one media converter at the laptop. Sadly, there’s no connection without WiFi.

It is not Cisco, it’s JT-COM ones from the tray. There’s no connection on the port. Putting the SFP into the media converter, I see 915.87 Mbps download and 102.12 Mbps upload on speedtest.net.
I’m trying another one:

Tue Aug 6 09:30:24 2024 kern.info kernel: [ 6024.853905] hwmon hwmon2: temp1_input not attached to any thermal zone
No luck with Ten 64, but with an ONTi media converter it is 891.64 Mbps DL, 102.16 Mbps UP.
I’ll continue trying different modules in general, but for now, I’d like to know whether I can expect one of the FS.com modules (#75336, #37925, #11795) to be stable as I need one of them (or the CTS INC. SFP-31W2BahSM-10 rev A) to connect to the ISP.
As a small note, I think this is starting to remind me of another topic I’ve opened symptom-wise: 10G Ethernet modules: recognized, but not connecting. The module is recognized, but no Ethernet connection is being made.
(Knowing whether I can somehow enable the modules shown previously would be nice, too! They may have some incorrect marking, yet they are compatible with hardware I have, so there probably is an override.)
Again, thanks for a quick reply!
