Miss Identified Model

[txnative]

I've been assisting a user with installing a linksys ea6500v2 in the monoton thread and the user states that when after the router was successfully installed, the model is identified as a EA6700. I seen in the src/router/shared/id.c the model isn't listed in HW_BCM4708 only the EA6400, EA6700 and EA6900. The thread, https://www.linksysinfo.org/index.php?posts/304260/

EA6500v2 and EA6700 have the same HW, boardtype, boardnum, boardrev and boardflags.

The only difference is "modelNumber":
https://bitbucket.org/kille72/freshtomato-arm/src/2ebed02c0ad0d27d4b94a6b298dd0fd3786af3ca/release/src-rt-6.x.4708/router/rc/init.c?at=shibby-arm&fileviewer=file-view-default#init.c-2933

so probably it's wrongly set in the nvram.

It's possible, although the model maybe needed in the id.c it's not with the other models listed except to identify the hw boardtype,boardnum,boardflags. This whole thing with adding models and place them in with another model that is similar doesn't hold well. It'd be best to have a model in question and gather useful data to properly have identified within all areas to work properly.
