Configure OpenWrt on Nslu2
- Point a browser to your new nslu2 IP (in my case 10.1.20.26) and set a new password.
- Set your time zone (with web interface is easier
) - Login into your nslu2 with ssh (user root, password whichever password you set previously)
- Disable Web interface (we don’t need it ):
# /etc/init.d/webif disable
# /etc/init.d/httpd disable
- Change the hostname:
# vi /etc/config/system and edit the “option hostname” line
- Fresh our installation:
# ipkg update && ipkg upgrade

# ipkg install kmod-usb2 kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb-serial

# ipkg install kmod-usb-acm
- Install kernel modules for some USB modem (Huawei E220):
