Hi Hauke: I saw that /etc/init.d/netconfig has additional "boardtype" values added. Is the E4200v1 one of those added? Chirag didn't have an nvram dump, but he had a reference to a tomato issue that indicated it might be "0xF52C". Also, a patch had been added to the set maintained at http://www.znau.edu.ua/temp/asus-rt-n16/2012-12-08T15-25/003-openwrt4716-TARGET_brcm4716-Linksys-E2000.patch that indicated the E2000 has a "boardtype" of "0x04EF"; although the same tomato reference has that one in lower case for WRT320N/E2000.
