I suspect that the new TFO code hasn't been tested much on mips. Am
glad you are doing so!

I got my replacement wndr3800s a few days ago, and will put the next
build through the TFO wringer (as well as attach a serial console).
That said, perhaps your bug report best belongs on netdev where there
are a couple people working hard on TFO and at least one has a cerowrt
capable box...

Does TFO successfully pass through the router?
