FAQ: General - page out of date?

[sampablokuper]

The page Frequently Asked Questions: General seems to have been migrated/imported from the old LEDE website to the OpenWRT website without consideration for its contents.

It mostly addresses questions about the LEDE/OpenWRT split. As the two projects have now merged, questions about the relative merits of the original OpenWRT codebase or the LEDE fork are no longer likely to be frequently asked.

I therefore propose that most or all of the content of that page should be deleted, and perhaps also the page itself. Does anyone agree with (or object to) this?

How come 18.06 has no code name

This will be a silly question but how come 18.06 doesn't have a code name? The trunk used to be called "Designated Driver"...

Official support for TP-Link Archer C60 (EU) HW V2.0?

Welcome. Also, the styling of the wiki has been discussed in other threads. I understand that it is a requirement to keep that styling for the LEDE/OpenWrt remerge. Feel free to search this forum for more information on that.

[SOLVED] Flashing Meraki MR18 can not upgrade or save changes

This is extremely old!!! I'm not even certain that the MR18 was supported by Designated Driver. Try using 18.06.0. Did you properly clear the partitions??? Can you provide the results of the command ubinfo -a

Bringing back Linksys E2100L official OpenWrt support?

Lets go back a little bit in time. In the times when the OpenWrt and LEDE fork happened on april-may 2016, I don't remember the exact date, in that time, after the fork, both projects seem to have working in different repos and accepting pull request for devices in each project independently. The Linksys E2100L pull request and support got accepted in the OpenWrt project on Nov-30-2016 and snapshots were generated in that time trunk bleeding edge, in that time we could download snapshot images f…

I do agree the section that references which firmware to use is now (in Present Day) extremely confusing, and should be removed:

• Were there any technical reasons to split from OpenWrt?

This section seems deprecated:

• Will OpenWrt Chaos Calmer still be supported?

Also:

• All syntax and phraseology should be tweaked to reference OpenWrt instead of "LEDE;" but the split and remerge should remain noted somehow (for a while).

I have now tidied up the page. I aimed to keep your feedback in mind as I did so
