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_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.
