===== Technical Background =====

With 4.1.0.102 we introduced a enhanced handling of the internal flash memory in the router models mentioned above.

As this also requiere some changes in the bootloader and in the partition managment, we need to have a specific starting point to maintain a fail-safe update process.

For even more Details please refere to the [[http://share.netmodule.com/public/system-software/4.1/4.1.0.100/NB_Release_Note_4.1.0.100.pdf|Release Note NRSW 4.1.0.100]]  Chapter 6

Therefore we decided to set the software version mentioned above as the minimum installed. 

Also a very rare issue found in case 48005 updating the spl will be avoided with this preparation
