R7800 Firmware Version 1.0.2.52 What happened to all the device names?

[albradford]

I just performed the updgrade to 1.0.2.52 (6/7/2018)

All the device names are blank. What happened? I rebboted a few times.

Went back to firmware version V1.0.2.46.

The device names came back.

I'll be happy when the interns stop writing the firmware updates.

Use the search, there are a few threads about it. Basically, known problem that needs to be fixed by NG

I also get horrible bufferbloat with 52 that is not present with 46. I 've swapped back and forth and can easily reporduce the reults. So, for now, I've reverted back to 46. I can't believe how bad 52 is overall.
