This was explained in the “ How to Remove Advertisements with Pixelserv on DD-WRT” guide.

Needless to say that this is way simpler and safer. While replacing it was an excellent geek exercise, it was without a doubt: dangerous, prone to problems, irreversible and worst of all router specific.
#DD WRT BITTORRENT TRANSMISSION DAEMON SOFTWARE#
This time we will be adding software on top of the firmware that’s in place, rather then replacing it.The procedure to do this manually is bothersome and not very straight forward. In order to give the examples of SSMTP and Knockd, yours truly, had to figure out the dependencies manually.So using Opkg we can install things like we did with Ipkg on the “ Unleash Even More Power from Your Home Router” guide. Opkg attempts to resolve dependencies with packages in the repositories – if this fails, it will report an error, and abort the installation of that package. The opkg utility (an ipkg fork) is a lightweight package manager used to download and install OpenWrt packages from local package repositories or ones located on the Internet. It acts as a replacement for the Ipkg package manager, and can be used to install software such as: the Transmission BitTorrent daemon, the ssmtp email sender and Knockd a daemon that execute scripts after a specified port triggering sequence, to name a few. Opkg is a package manager like apt/aptitude and yum. Update: The mounting partitions capability has been reintroduced into the re-branded version on the 17798 alpha build. That is why, I felt the need to create the below concise, simple to follow and reproducible procedure for getting the OpenWRT Opkg package manager to work on such routers. Also having to make use of a Linux formatted HD or at least a partition of one ( which actually doesn’t even work on the firmwares I’ve tested with). For example, giving you the “lib” files fish, but don’t teach you how to fish it from the source. While their contribution (among other sources on the web) to this guide was invaluable, some of the instructions are (IMHO) simply not straight forward enough. So I’ve started digging (as i always do) and came across several guides ( 1, 2, 3 and 4) that aimed to explain how to get Opkg working manually. Unfortunately I’ve quickly found that the router that I got, is Atheros based and the script from that wiki page, doesn’t support it.

Due to the fact that this router has a USB port, I immediately connected an HD and tried to use the “ Optware, The Right Way” wiki guide. I’ve recently bought a new Buffalo WZR-HP-AG300H which comes with a re-branded version of DD-WRT.
