Error in sysupgrade image listing

Installing and Using OpenWrt

I believe the two images listed for a Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, the one with -rb and the one with -s, are backwards. My Buffalo says A0 D0 on the back so I did a sysupgrade with the -rb image after reading your page about this router. I now get error messages:

[    4.643112] rtl8366rb switch: cannot find mdio node phandle
[    4.648840] rtl8366rb switch: using GPIO pins 531 (SDA) and 532 (SCK)
[    4.655401] rtl8366rb switch: unknown chip id (0000)
[    4.660423] rtl8366rb switch: chip detection failed, err=-19

and

Failed to connect to the switch. Use the "list" command to see which switches are available.

I can log in over wifi and a serial port shows the boot log, but I have not connection on the RJ45 plugs on the back.

I think I recall (14 years ago) configuring something with an 8366s switch.

Your device is actually still supported? :exploding_head:

Did you preserved settings while rolling over to 24.whatsoever?

No, I rarely preserve settings.
I got it going with a -s tftp load and it's running just fine now.
2 out of 3 of my ancient Buffalo routers still work.
