First i want to thank you. Basically, your tutorial is good, but not complete.
right now, i am working in my spare time to a script like frater (the one that make optware script for dd-wrt), but is work in progress ....
i have an awesom wndr3700, and i am a great fan of dd-wrt, but how can i install sound drivers on atheros ?
i already done that many times for broadcom, but it seems that every blackfire release has a different kernel version than one of the dd wrt.
Does anybody do that? to work sound modules (basically OSS) on atheros device ?
I tryed to compile myself dd-wrt, but even if i am developer, i didn;t handle very well...

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you dynek!!
To start I have a WNDR3700 v1 running DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/19/12) std (SVN revision 18777).
I followed the tutorial in the original post and everything seemed to be OK after section 8, run opkg update, which ran as described.
Obviously I had to change the libc package in section 5 to:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/opkg_618-2_ar71xx.ipk
ipkg install libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk opkg_618-2_ar71xx.ipk
as there is a new version.
A problem arose when I actually tried to install any packages. Having listed all the packages I noticed Snort. After issuing the command opkg install snort I got an error that the dependencies libc * libc * libc * libc * were missing and that installation could not be completed. This happened when trying to install any package.
I solved it by manually reinstalling libc using opkg:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk
opkg install libc_0.9.33.2-1_ar71xx.ipk
Hope this helps.
PS: I haven't tried this but this may also work: Skip the libc install in section 5:
Code:
cd /tmp
wget http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ar71xx/packages/opkg_618-2_ar71xx.ipk
ipkg install opkg_618-2_ar71xx.ipk
and apply my fix in section 8. _________________ WNR834B v2 | 2x WRT54GS v.4 | WNDR3700 v1

Good Day All,
I have successfully got Opt-Ware loaded on my TP-Link WR1043ND (currently running 14896). I have also tried revision 18777 (sadly has a few issues for this router, 14896 is meant to be the best version).
I am trying to gain access to Ser2Net with a USB Serial Device (Arduino). The Opt-Ware works for everything, except I am unable to install the kmod-usb drivers....
I know this issue has been around since mid 2010, I was hoping there is a solution? I dont want to migrate to OpenWRT just for this.
Installing kmod-usb-serial-ftdi (3.3.8-1) to root...

Thank you, it solved my issue.
It seems you have to use opkg package manager to install it, not the ipkg, which was my mistake.
