For ar71xx/ath79 devices with 4MB flash and/or 32MB RAM see also 4/32 warning and OpenWrt on 4/32 devices

- Use ath79 instead, if available
- If ath79 is not available for your device, then port it to ath79
- If you are not able to port it yourself, find someone who is able to do it.
Support the developer by providing the needed information for porting and by testing development builds. - If all that does not work, nail your device on the wall of your living room (as souvenir), use it as paperweight, or just dump it into the appropriate recycling channels.
