+
+OpenWRT Experimentation
+==========================
+
+Setup UIC (http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/uci):
+
+ aptitude install cmake lua liblua5.1-0 lublua5.1-0-dev
+ mkdir ~/src; cd ~/src
+ git clone git://nbd.name/uci.git
+ cmake .
+ make
+ make install
+ mkdir -p /etc/config
+
+
+Setup LuCI (https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=155672):
+
+ aptitude install ncurses-dev pkg-config
+
+Setup Troubleshooting
+-----------------------
+Needed to install `locales` package, then `dpkg-reconfigure locales`.
+
+Reset Password
+-----------------
+Add 'init=/bin/bash' to boot args in u-boot. This can be accomplished on a
+one-time basis by connecting to the serial port, power cycling and interrupting
+the boot process (you only have a couple seconds to do this!), then entering:
+
+ setenv x_bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 init=/bin/bash'
+ boot
+
+Open Problems
+----------------
+apt/dpkg is very slow; need to tune kernel fs parameters to keep package lists
+in memory?
+
+figure out how to install AP mode drivers on freedom-maker image.
