I do have serial access, but I can't find any way to interrupt the boot loader 
to get a command line.  Otherwise I would have tried something like that.



It's also useful to start a thread on the forums and report your
progress there. Some will chip in with help and advice.


I have done that now.

 Any other information that would be useful?

To write the actual support into openwrt, take a look at the changes
that others have made to add new devices. Juhosg has added several
devices in the last few months, and I've used those as templates for
working on new devices.
