Wow.

I wonder how you could have figured this out (except via folklore).

Since it is a kernel module that is missing the nls-* modules, the
only ways of reporting the problem are: EWHATEVER return code (rather
non-specific) or logging (would have to be rate-limited).  I guess
neither of these were used.

Can you fix the web page that gave you the first hints to include the
lore about nls-*?

I remember going through this very same series of events as Giles. It was a few years ago with the TP-Link MR-3020, which I was setting up as a portable PXE boot server.

I was going through various parts of the wiki on that, but found the need information was covered in comprehensive document. Ah yes, this looks to be the one.

Also relevant, but assumes ext a linux-ish file systems, so doesn't mention VFAT or it's NLS needs.
