New guide to installing everything from scratch on the Widy.

Get version 2 of firmware here: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3040#version_2x

Use Chaos Calmer: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin

Do not use Barrier Breaker, it has kernel problems with usb /scsi kernel modules.

Flash router with firmware image (if already running OpenWrt, go to web console and pick System > Flash Firmware, if using built-in admin panel then do System Tools > Firmwware Upgrade).

Connect Widy to internet. Either connect ethernet cable, or use web control panel to connect to a wifi network as a client.

And... we can install kmod-usb-storage, but we run out of space before we can install kmod-fs-ext4.

That means we're stuck with Barrier Breaker, and if we can't get Barrier Breaker's kernel modules working, this entire venture is all... worthless.
