So with this new CFE, does DD-WRT need to be updated? Or are you saying once the CFE is updated to this latest version that supports 64K I can install the current version of the DD-WRT firmware and it will automatically recognize and work with the larger NVRAM?

I'm not a DD-WRT user. All i can say that CFE is working with 64Kb now.
If DD-WRT still can't use 64Kb NVRAM then it's up to DD-WRT. _________________ Entware team

Thanks!
I would like to know more about this to.
Does DD-WRT automatically detect the NVRAM or do you have to flash a 64k-version?
If it is necessary to flash a 64k-version, would it be safe to just download the latest 64k-build and flash it, after updating the CFE, or do DD-WRT have do be updated to?

NVRAM is just a flash memory area. And both Linux (from any chosen firmware) and bootloader (CFE in our case) must know how to deal with it.
ASUS engineers expanded NVRAM up to 64Kb last summer, but only for Linux (stock firmware). They broke ability to read/write variables from NVRAM for bootloader. My script helps to fix that.
So, from now on, there is no more problem between CFE and 64Kb RAM.
Now it's up to DD-WRT developers. They must update Linux (included in DD-WRT firmware) to use 64Kb NVRAM. _________________ Entware team
