using ipkg on LaFonera

{ work in progress }

I am busy with it but also wondering, is it even possible, using openwrt packages for dd-wrt? If anybody has some input, please do


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 list View the list of packages
ipkg install dropbear Install the dropbear package
ipkg remove dropbear Remove the dropbear package

More options can be found via ipkg --help.

The configuration file for ipkg is /etc/ipkg.conf. Before you can install any addon package, you need to freshen the package list with

root@OpenWrt:~# ipkg update


what to do

  1. Make /etc/ipkg.conf writeble
  2. add http://downloads.openwrt.org/people/mbm/mips/packages/ to the list
