Hi everyone!
The hardware-ID is different for TL-WDR4300v1 devices sold in Israel.
For unknown reasons, instead of having proper settings in the WiFi EEPROM, the
importer decided to have a rootfs-mod of TP-LINKs original firmware -- still
with US regdomain in the EEPROM, but limiting the choices in the web-gui to
values which are compliant with regulations in Israel.
The firmware on devices sold in Israel expects a different hardware-id to
prevent users from flashing the upstream firmware and therefore bypassing the
limitations.
Though this approach seems formally wrong to me (they should have rather just
put the right settings in the art / eeprom), it's already out there.
To allow users to use OpenWrt on these devices and (similar to the original
firmware) also make sure that they do not violate the local regulations, I
suggest this patch (sorry for the attachment, but in that way it doesn't get
mangled by gmail).
Cheers
Daniel
