ok... I updated the 'release' build and now that is 'forward' from the original 21.02.1 build... alot of wifi stuff was added past tagging...
this may have implications for users on this board for upcoming 21.02.2 release depending on what fixes or reverts manifest prior to that occurence
(edit: fixed)
so seems you may need to go back to the 'static' 21.02.1 without all the wifi bumps...
(note: advice above is build specific... for general rpi4 openwrt, you should use the 21.02.1 img and not upgrade wifi packages or use imagebuilder (for a small while) if you rely on wifi)
