[EXT] Re: fw_printenv resulting in bad crc, using default environment

[Robert Varga]

Hi Anatolij,

Thank you very much for solving the problem. After commenting out the line within /etc/fw_env.config the fw_printenv tool now works as expected.

Regards,
Robert

Comment out the above line and try again.
