[OpenWrt-Devel] Huawei hg556a ralink eeprom bug ?

[N.Leiten]

Does it happen on every boot or only on first boot after firmware update?

The reason of this error is absence of 'firmware' (like ART on Atheros-based boards) partition on flash due to firmware structure itself or error in DTS files.
In OpenWRT kernel falls back to usermode generation of EEPROM on some boards. Telnet on your board and look into /etc/hotplug.d/firmware/10-rt2x00-eeprom script which generates eeprom in overlayFS filesystem. 
So error itself is not like ERROR, but WARNING notifies that we using some custom eeprom. Maybe in hotplug script it is needed to add your board for proper generation of this eeprom file. Notification will not go away, but MAC will be different.
