Here’s the recipe for the (failed) Open WRT project. Here for posterity.

start

(turn wifi off, set ip address to 192.168.1.2) telnet to 192.168.1.1

uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.128.1
uci commit
reboot

(swap ip address to 192.168.128.2, enable proxy on 8888) telnet to 192.168.128.1

echo 'option http_proxy http://192.168.128.2:8888/' >> /etc/opkg.conf 
opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-storage block-mount usb-modeswitch-data kmod-scsi-generic kmod-fs-ext4

edit /etc/config/fstab (file contents)

config global automount
        option from_fstab 1
        option anon_mount 1

config global autoswap
        option from_fstab 1
        option anon_swap 0

config swap
         option device   /dev/sda1
         option enabled  1

config mount
         option target   /mnt/sda2
         option device   /dev/sda2
         option fstype   ext4
         option options  rw,sync
         option enabled  1
         option enabled_fsck 0

config mount
         option target   /mnt/sda3
         option device   /dev/sda3
         option fstype   ext4
         option options  rw,sync
         option enabled  1
         option enabled_fsck 0

(end file contents)

df -h

Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on . . . /dev/mtdblock3 1.4M 796.0K 612.0K 57% /overlay overlayfs:/overlay 1.4M 796.0K 612.0K 57% /

reboot.

(check that all is okay i.e. /mnt/sda2 /mnt/sda3 exists, then copy /overlay) add to the sda2 config mount section of /etc/config/fstab

        option is_rootfs 1

tar -C /overlay -cvf - . | tar -C /mnt/sda2 -xf -
reboot

(hopefully this will have got swap on the usb stick, and /overlay working)

opkg update
opkg install luci
/etc/init.d/uhttpd enable
/etc/init.d/uhttpd start

(configuration now managed by luci…) (but first we need to load the ether-cdc things) (reboot … woot lucy is running!)

opkg update
opkg install kmod-usb-net-cdc-ether 
reboot
opkg update
opkg install udev usbutils kmod-usb-net-rndis

////// missing: rndis_wlan,rndis_host,cdc_ether,cdc_ncm

end
