[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] ath79: Add support for Ubiquity Bullet M2HP

Hi,

if I haven't overlooked it, the patch does not provide a "factory" Image as in ar71xx, at least according to "Flashing instructions".

Is this specific to this patch or is there some reason why factory won't be available for XM on ath79 at all?

Best Adrian
