using ipkg on LaFonera

The ipkg utility is a lightweight package manager used to download and install OpenWrt packages from the internet. (GNU/Linux users familiar with apt-get will recognise the similarities)

The firmware itself is designed to occupy as little space as possible while still providing a reasonably friendly command line interface or web administration interface. With no packages installed, OpenWrt will configure the network interfaces, setup a basic NAT firewall, a secure shell server, a DNS forwarder and DHCP server.

Command Description
ipkg update Download a list of packages available

ipkg install dropbear Install the dropbear package
ipkg remove dropbear Remove the dropbear package

More options can be found via ipkg --help.
