The Waveshare RP2040-LoRa board has an RF switch with two complementary
control lines:
- DIO2 (CTRL) -- driven automatically by the SX1262 chip: HIGH on TX,
LOW on RX
- GPIO17 (!CTRL) -- was not configured in MeshCore, so it floated and
the switch never properly selected the LNA/RX path
Without this pin driven, the RF switch never switches to RX mode,
resulting in completely degraded reception. TX was unaffected because
DIO2 alone is sufficient to activate the TX path.
Adding SX126X_RXEN=17 lets RadioLib drive GPIO17 as the complement of
DIO2, so the switch correctly routes the signal to the LNA on receive.

variants/thinknode_m5/platformio.ini contained actual WiFi SSID and
password credentials (Livebox-633C) committed by mistake. Replaced
with placeholder values consistent with other variants (myssid/mypwd).
env:Generic_ESPNOW_room_svr was using 'Heltec Room' as ADVERT_NAME,
causing Generic ESPNow room server nodes to advertise with the wrong
device name on the mesh.
Repeater and Room Server environments in variants/thinknode_m5/platformio.ini
were using 'Thinknode M2' as the ADVERT_NAME, causing M5 nodes to advertise
with the wrong device name on the mesh.
- env:ThinkNode_M5_Repeater: 'Thinknode M2 Repeater' -> 'Thinknode M5 Repeater'
- env:ThinkNode_M5_room_server: 'Thinknode M2 Room Server' -> 'Thinknode M5 Room Server'
As @LitBomb pointed out in his [comment](https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/2118#issuecomment-4108168109) on #2118 RX Boosted Gain should not be enabled for the Station G2.
This change is a fix for #2124 to make the default of `radio.rxgain` to be OFF on the Station G2.
This restores the pre-1.14.1 behaviour with the only change being the user is now able to change the setting in the CLI.
Drive WB_IO2 (slot power switch) HIGH via early constructor before the
Arduino framework initializes. Without this, the board brownouts on
POE-only power because the slot MOSFET isn't enabled early enough for
the RAK13800 POE module to deliver power to the baseboard.
Also remove the W5100S hardware reset pulse from Ethernet init — the
chip comes out of power-on reset cleanly, and toggling reset kills
the PHY link which breaks POE power delivery.
