Hi Mark, that is interesting. I am battling with some device recognistion issues myself. What is that ' art/caldata area' you mention? Can you access the data from the command line after Boot? I guess I am asking how can you access the data in 'userland', i.e. in shell scripts?

Since you can flash a WNDR3700v2 with a WNDR3800 image and vice-versa, and the name is simply baked into the image you chose to flash with no other differences between the two, it seems pointless. > btw.

The WNDR3800 U-Boot source has the details. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
