[Commotion-discuss] [OTI-Field] Commotion: now without the paper clips

[Ben West]

Some searching thru the UBNT user forums indicates that while it may work
to flash OpenWRT onto their radios via the stock AirOS firmware, it's not
tested and may not work depending on what version of AirOS is there.

Also, which image was flashed via AirOS?  Was it the 'factory' version or
the 'sysupgrade' version?
