Firmware update: Asuswrt-Merlin 388.2_2

Asus uses a Tomato-derived firmware called Asuswrt for its routers, such as the RT-AC68 and RT-AX88. This firmware is, except for a few drivers, open source, with closed binaries included. Asuswrt-Merlin is in turn a modified version of the original firmware from Asus. It includes bug fixes and minor improvements, but still tries to stay close to the original, so that it remains possible to add new features that Asus introduces to the code. Version 388.2_2 has been released and the following changes and improvements have been made:

Updated:

• Merged GPL 388_22668 for the XT12 (only)
• OpenVPN to 2.6.3.

Fixed:

• QoS Status page wouldn’t display Upload stats if the WAN interface was set to a secondary 2.5G/10G port instead of the default WAN port.
• dnsmasq may crash if no DNS server is configured (fix backported from dnsmasq upstream)
• Missing GPY211 driver for the XT12 and for certain hardware revisions of other HND 5.04 models.
