Hi there,

is it possible to use ipkg to install packages from a USB stick instead of repositories?

As I understand it, when you install something via ipkg it downloads them up from its repositories via your internet connection. Is this correct?

Say I have a package that I have created myself, or a binary that I have download to another computer (my computer at work for example). Can I put theses onto a USB stick and upload them to my wl-500g router without the need to connect the router to the internet?

If this is possible, how to I do it? Do I use ipkg or do I use something else?

Thanks in advance.

Suppose your usb is mounted as /OPT you could copy the file to this directory and do:

ipkg install /opt/nameofthepackage.ipk
