    Smile IPKG INSTALL ERRORS

    Hello, i am trying to install things into my router. when i try to run command ipkg install screen i am getting

    "[root@WL700gE /]$ ipkg install screen
    Installing screen (4.0.3-2) to /opt/...
    Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...3-2_mipsel.ipk
    wget: missing URL
    Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

    Try `wget --help' for more options.
    Nothing to be done
    An error ocurred, return value: 22.
    Collected errors:
    ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1: `wget -q -P http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/screen_4.0.3-2_mipsel.ipk'
    Failed to download screen. Perhaps you need to run 'ipkg update'?
    WARNING: Unable to remove temporary directory: : No such file or directory
    [root@WL700gE /]$
    "

    Can you check if there's a default route?
    Happened to me too.

    In other words, if you enter the route command, check that there is a line that reads something like:
    Code:
    Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
    default         gw_ip_address   0.0.0.0         UG    0      0      0   br0

    Smile going to check

    I will check sometimes tomorrow about the route . if it is not present what should i do? were do i add that line if it does not exist ? because i formatted and flashed the router twice with no luck. but i will check that asap! thanks for getting back to me...seems no one was responding.

    If the default route is missing, you need to add it:
    Code:
    route add default gw <gateway's IP address>
    when things are working OK, save your changes:
    Code:
    flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot
