Hi Linux newbie here. Have managed to update a WRT54G with Open-WRT and then install the Open Swan VPN package. I would now like to do the same thing with DD-WRT as it is a much nicer/more fucntional package.

I have flashed the WRT with the latest mini DD-WRT and then ran

ipkg update
Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/Packages ...
Connecting to downloads.openwrt.org (195.56.146.238:80)
..
..
Done.
Updated list of available packages in /jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/lists/backports

ipkg install openswan

ipkg_depends: Warning: kernel mentioned in dependency but no package found in /jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/lists

Done.
tar: invalid tar magic
tar: short read
ipkg_install_file: ERROR unpacking control.tar.gz from /jffs/tmp/ipkg/ip_2.6.11-050330-1_mipsel.ipk
ipkg_get_install: ERROR: Failed to install /jffs/tmp/ipkg/ip_2.6.11-050330-1_mipsel.ipk
ipkg_get_install: I'll leave it there for you to try a manual installation


Questions:

can Open Swan live with the latest DD-WRT mini? I.e. is there enough ram etc.)

If so, has anyone done this ?

Has anyone got advice on how to correct the tar error noted above. ?

Will you please consider adding a "built-in" VPN facility to DD-WRT so all of this can be done via the web-admin. DD-WRT is the slickest WRT software out there and adding VPN support would be the icing on the cake.

Regards.
