@mduclehcm - this is already supported via ELRS Backpack over WiFi/UDP; doing WiFi/TCP on the ESP32 main chip is a really really really bad idea and we won't support it.

Yeah, but I have a different purpose - using Mavlink over ELRS for long-distance wireless telemetry. The trade-off is that we have to use a 1:2 telemetry ratio, which I don't want.
Second, Mavlink over ELRS is super slow, only good for monitoring, not suitable for configuration.
I'm trying to implement Mavlink over WiFi directly from the ELRS RX, not the backpack. It helps me quickly configure things on the fly in the field by turning on WiFi mode.
Actually, ELRS already has a similar feature, but it streams MSP over WiFi when rx enter wifi mode, not Mavlink. I’m just extending it

I think this would be great to have, for on the ground configuration (pre-flight) a direct wifi connection to the receiver, forwarding to the FC, would be much faster and thus more convenient. Could we even have a completely transparent serial over wifi mode on the receiver? For example there is dronebridge/esp32 that is a wifi to serial bridge (transparent or optionally mavlink aware), but it would be nice to have this through just the ELRS so we dont need multiple chips and multiple ports.
