+### 7.8. Q: How do I use Ethernet with a RAK4631?
+ **A:**
+MeshCore supports Ethernet on RAK4631 boards using the [RAK13800](https://docs.rakwireless.com/product-categories/wisblock/rak13800/datasheet/) WisBlock Ethernet module (based on the W5100S chip).
+
+**Hardware required:**
+- RAK4631 WisBlock Core
+- RAK19007 or RAK19018 WisBlock Base Board (with an available IO slot)
+- RAK13800 WisBlock Ethernet module
+- Ethernet cable connected to a network with a DHCP server
+
+**Firmware:**
+Flash one of the Ethernet-enabled firmware variants:
+- `RAK_4631_repeater_ethernet` - Repeater with Ethernet CLI access
+- `RAK_4631_room_server_ethernet` - Room server with Ethernet CLI access
+- `RAK_4631_companion_radio_ethernet` - Companion radio over Ethernet (replaces BLE)
+
+**Connecting:**
+- The device obtains an IP address via DHCP automatically on boot.
+- For repeaters and room servers, connect to the device on TCP port 23 using any TCP client (e.g. `nc <ip> 23` or PuTTY in raw mode). This gives you the same CLI available over serial/USB.
+- For companion radio firmware, the Ethernet interface replaces BLE as the transport to companion apps. Connect on TCP port 5000 (same as the WiFi companion radio).
+- Use the `eth.status` CLI command to check connection status and see the assigned IP address.

 Data frames carry raw packet data only, with no metadata prepended. The Data command payload is limited to 255 bytes to match the MeshCore maximum transmission unit (MAX_TRANS_UNIT); frames larger than 255 bytes are silently dropped. The KISS specification recommends at least 1024 bytes for general-purpose TNCs; this modem is intended for MeshCore packets only, whose protocol MTU is 255 bytes.
 
+Only one packet may be pending for radio transmission at a time. If the host sends a second Data frame before the first has completed, the modem responds with Error (0xF1) and TxBusy (0x07).
+
+### Host Output Backpressure
+
+Outbound frames are encoded into a 2-slot queue and flushed when serial output space is available; `loop()` never blocks on writes. Radio TX state advances independently of host read speed. TxDone is retained until it can be queued. If the outbound queue is full, the modem responds with Error (0xF1) and TxBusy (0x07). Hosts should read serial promptly to avoid delayed responses.
