You could try downgrading from 2.8.1 to 2.8.1
What is so new and great in this new 2.8.1 (b2c05cda0e)?
And what this number b2c05cda0e actully stands for?
Not md5, not crc32, is it a build number?

I see changes in 28 files and one new file added - a hyphenation dictionary for the Dutch language.
Unfortunately, libnickel.so.1.0.0 has been changed too, its size is different:
old: 19,109,944 bytes
new: 19,074,964 bytes
So hex replacements may cause unpredictable effects.

But perhaps it is enough to replace just libnickel.so.1.0.0 file (with the one from the previous 2.8.1 firmware) and then you can apply the patch, because the patch changes only that one file.
That file is already included in the patch itself, so even if you don't have the older 2.8.1 firmware, you have that file.
So the question is: does the old libnickel file work without problems in the new firmware.
I am not going to try this but perhaps somebody will. Or already tried.
