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

[Dan Staples]

AirOS would only take the factory version, not the sysupgrade image. 
Also, I tested AirOS version 5.3.5 and 5.5.4 (the oldest and newest 
versions listed on their website); both worked on the Picostation M2. I 
haven't tested with versions 5.5, 5.5.2, 5.5.3.
