You are going to have to be prepared to do some development work, not
just installation. Even if the two boards are very similar, an
image compiled for the Home Hub is unlikely to work perfectly out
of the box on the Siemens. In order even to attempt this you are
going to need to be comfortable digging into the code and
rebuilding openwrt.

You will also need to solder a serial console onto your board, as I 
very much doubt that the version of the uboot bootloader installed
on the Siemens has netconsole enabled. Do you have a serial console?
If so can you get the uboot prompt on it?

Once you have a serial console you can install tftpd on your system 
(exactly which packages you need depends on what system you have - 
you'll find plenty of advice by Googling). The tftpboot folder referred
to in the wiki is the directory on your system where you place files
you wish to be able to download to your device via tftp (depends on
which version of tftpd you have).

Once all that is set up you will be in a position to test openwrt 
builds.

I wouldn't flash any images yet. Start with ramdisk images
loaded into the memory of your device via tftp and executed from there.
Before building your own you could try the precompiled ramdisk image
for the Home Hub. Ie (from the uboot prompt):

tftpboot 81000000 openwrt-lantiq-xway-BTHOMEHUBV2B-uImage-initramfs
bootm 81000000

If you get that far post the bootlog.

Regards,

Ben

P.S. By the way, there is something wrong with the links in your mail.
