Operating System - All
Severity - Medium
Priority - Very Low
Reported Version - Trunk
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Device: TP-Link TL-WR841N/ND v8

LEDE release: anything I tried after r4335

Steps to reproduce:

  - Build: make defconfig, make menuconfig, specify target = TL-WR841N/ND v8, exit (save), make defconfig, make. Everything OK.
  - Try to flash (I use LuCI). After the usual "don't turn me off" screen, the router page reappears and the firmware hasn't been updated. It's still the previous version.
