cd escalade-LEDE

	- check file ~/devel/escalade-LEDE/include/kernel-version.mk
	-- look for the KERNEL VERSION line to see which version it will be using if interested
	- I chose to update to escalde's latest "escalade" branch, to get access to the newer kernel (4.9.77)

    - copy over escalade's configs (in my case) for TP-Link C2600 to the main build directory, so we can import it into make menuconfig:

cp profiles/c2600 ./c2600

make menuconfig


        - load = "c2600"

    "Administration" ⇒ "*" >> htop
    "Firmware"       ⇒ "M" >> rt2800-usb-firmware
