[OpenWrt-Devel] UniFi-AC-LR ( or UniFi-AC-LITE )

[David Hutchison]

Thank you,

That indeed helps, I was able to find the header in the UniFi
Controller ( There is a "dl" directory ). TFTP accepts
"BZ.qca956x.v6.0.0-OpenWrt-r47065"
I still haven't had luck getting it to boot yet; definitely getting closer.
