Hello Yazeed, > When I did fresh install of openwrt , i tried "opkg install tinc" . It then > said "dependency required , kernel (= 3.3.8-1-" as I was on 2.6.31.
this indicates that your sources file (/etc/opkg.conf) pointed to a more recent release of openwrt than the one that you installed. The proper action at this moment would have been to change the repository source urls in /etc/opkg.conf to a matching release. See the FAQ: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/faq/after.installation#cannot_satisfy_dependencies > I then downloaded 3.3.8-1 and did opkg install kernel. As far as I understand openwrt, this is something that just will not work. Every installed package will end up in the "overlay" filesystem. This special filesystem is not active during bootup - thus you cannot boot the fresh kernel. "Upgrading" an openwrt system by installing new packages is usually not possible due to the compressed read-only filesystem (squashfs) which is used for booting. A "sysupgrade" with a new image is the proper way to go.
