I have OpenWRT already running on a WD My Net n750 but it is an older build, 19.07.9. Due to a issue with newer builds and a possible solution of using extroot to get around it. I would like to use this to build a extroot enabled OpenWRT image.

I know the LEDs are named differently for this model but I'm not sure where to get the proper names. The only names I see so far are:

ls /sys/class/leds/
ath9k-phy0                ath9k-phy1                mynet-n750:blue:internet  mynet-n750:blue:power     mynet-n750:blue:wireless  mynet-n750:blue:wps

Does that mean I would insert something like the following into the autoprovision-functions.sh file?

    *mynet-n750*)
        autoprovisionUSBLed="blue:wps"
        autoprovisionStatusLed="blue:wireless"
        ;;

I ran it anyways, didn't even really need LED status since my USB thumb drive of choice has one built in. Was able to generate a working image. Seems to solve the issue experienced here: openwrt/openwrt#9085 by completely skipping use of the on-board storage. Thank you for this helpful script.

it looks reasonable at a first glance. you may want to open a PR with this change to benefit others.

but i'm glat you had success with it even without the help of the leds!
