Description
According to https://github.com/haakonnessjoen/MAC-Telnet/issues/42 the crypto to login to recent RouterOS has been changed and therefore the current OpenWrt packages can not connect to such Mikrotik devices.
The current package is based on @jow- own fork with some OpenWrt specific changes.
To make the package usable again with current RouterOS releases, the mentioned PR should be backported.
