Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Base system
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To - 
Operating System - All
Severity - Critical
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - Trunk
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details -  - Name the tree/revision:  v.17.01.1, ramips, rt3883;
 - Name the affected device:  Edimax BR-6475ND;
 - What does it do: It gets stuck into an infinite boot loop;
 - Steps to reproduce: on a properly working LEDE v.17.01.0, do a standard upgrade to v.17.01.1 (both not keeping or keeping settings will get the same result);
 - What I have already done to fix the problem:  To recover, one must put router into failsafe mode and sysupgrade to openwrt V.15.05.1 (file https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05.1/ramips/rt3883/openwrt-15.05.1-ramips-rt3883-br-6475nd-squashfs.bin).
After installing openwrt V.15.05.1, one can use Luci to install LEDE v.17.01.0 and have a properly working router.
