[OpenWrt-Devel] [BUG] NAND sysupgrade broke ubifs on Netgear WNDR3700v4/4300.

[John Crispin]

Hi,

can someone with a 3700v4 run "cat /tmp/sysinfo/*" on a 3700 ?

the sysupgrade fails because the board id is not added yet in the
upgrade script. however i fail to figure out what id it gets from the
ar71xx.sh script
