Using the Package Manager
Open WRT's default package manager is opkg, the docs for it can be found here.
To install a new package the package lists must be updated,
opkg update # update the package lists
opkg install PACKAGENAME # install a new package.Wifi Drivers
The wifi drivers for my wifi dongle (Ralink) were not pre-installed so running this installed them:
opkg update # update the package lists
opkg install kmod-rt2800-lib kmod-rt2800-usb kmod-rt2x00-lib kmod-rt2x00-usb
rebootSetup Network Via SSH
When compiling Open WRT from source it may have no internet connectivity and the interface (LuCI) may not be installed.
Following the instructions from Open WRT's Docs we can connect via SSH:
uci set network.lan.ipaddr='192.168.2.200' # static address for this device
uci set network.lan.gateway='192.168.2.1' # Router ip
uci set network.lan.dns='192.168.2.1' # router dns or provider
uci commit
service network restartThen LuCI can be installed.
opkg update
opkg install luci
