I'm flashing Chaos Calmer. The radio has a MAC address starting with 68:72, which is not new (in the past, UBNT has "signaled" a change by changing the MAC address prefix). It is still an "XM" device (only the M5 seems to have moved to "XW").<br>
<br>
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a fix at hand?<br>
<br>
last i knew at least on the new bullets/picos you needed to downgrade AirOS before you could flash them with WRT, due to ubott changes, wonder if its true for this unit also.....<br>
