[OpenWrt-Devel] [BUG] NAND sysupgrade broke ubifs on Netgear WNDR3700v4/4300.

[Paul Blazejowski]

John,

any update on this issue? i strongly believe that the hard-coded
wndr4300 string somewhere in the source is the culprit of the problem
since the wndr3700v4 board_detection is identified as wndr4300 thus the
sysupgrade works for 4300 but not for 3700v4.

Regards,
-paul
