Connect to the unit using telnet or ssh. We recommend to use Putty for this purpose.

Then copy paste these commands below in the terminal. 

head -n -1 /etc/inittab > /tmp/x; mv /tmp/x /etc/inittab
printf "#::askconsole:/bin/ash --login\n" >> /etc/inittab
head -n -1 /etc/opkg.conf > /tmp/x; mv /tmp/x /etc/opkg.conf
printf "src/gz chaos_calmer_lechacal http://lechacal.com/repo/emonwrt3\n#option check_signature 1\n" >>/etc/opkg.conf
