LEDE17.01.1 is out - Xiaomi Mini

A couple of days ago I upgraded the minis to the first stable release of LEDE. 
Flashing took an unusually long time, but other than that all went well.

Login as root, cd to /tmp and wget the firmware
wget https://downloads.lede-project.org/releases/17.01.0/targets/ramips/mt76
20/lede-17.01.0-r3205-59508e3-ramips-mt7620-miwifi-mini-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin --no-check-certif
icate
flash to OS1 (or FIRMWARE, check with cat /proc/mtd )
mtd -r write lede-17.01.0-r3205-59508e3-ramips-mt7620-miwifi-mini-squashfs-s
ysupgrade.bin OS1
wait...wait...wait... 

LEDE doesn't enable wifi by default (grumble) so you'll have to connect via the LAN ports on 192.168.1.1

So far  all is well, some fixes on the 5Ghz wrt to DFS, but there's an outstanding patch for the MT7620 which is supposed to fix wireless driver issues, but which wasn't included in 17.01.1. 
But still there's no reason to stick with an older version as this one seems stable.
