On 24.10 and 25.12 we sometimes see some kind of networking lockup on various mediatek devices. The device is just not reachable anymore and needs a reboot. The symptoms are similar to the ipq40xx ethernet lockup a few years ago, although the underlying cause is probably a different one, as ipq40xx is Qualcomm and we're looking at Mediatek here.

Let's do the same workaround: naywatch, which reboots if ethernet neighbors disappear.

Have you seen that naywatch "fixes" the problem? Otherwise lgtm

Nope, no idea :-) But it should. Maybe I can simulate the issue with ip link set down switch0?
