I seem to have a somewhat-related problem.
Through some trial-and-error I got opkg on, but I'm not sure if I have optware or not. I *do* seem to have opkg working correctly, but when I type "service serialmodules on" it can't find "service". Did I miss a step somewhere? I'm using an Atheros based device and not only that, but I'm using a TPLink TL-WR1043ND, so the installation process for opkg was a huge ordeal none of the DD-WRT guides worked, I had to come up with some of my own tweaks.
Is there a way to confirm if I have optware or if opkg works does that already mean optware is on there? I have a feeling I'm missing something obvious.
I know I could use xiangfu's custom .bin for Open-WRT, but I'd prefer to stick with DD-WRT since I'm more experienced with that.

Something odd is going on. DD-WRT has in-built NTP client, which is supposed to check the time on start up, then after 120 seconds.

I wrote a script to force it to update, but I can't tell if it works, or does anything, as right now it seems to be behaving itself without the script.
Hate intermittent problems.

Maybe I could start it, so it's mining, then re-start it 2 mins later when the time is set 
*BIT* of a cludge though!

There's a bug I'm not sure how to get around.
When the router starts the time is unset, then gets set by NTP after a short time. Problem is CGminer starts before it's set, so when the time then gets set, the utility and overall MH/s show incorrect results. Without waiting a minute or 2, I'm not sure what to do about this.

This is very nice. I was planning on using one computer that I have laying around to run this, but I may end up canabalizing it for parts instead and getting a refurbished E3000 through newegg for relatively cheap.

P_Shep, just a few spelling/grammar corrections for your README:
Thanks for this! I'm going to try to get it running now!

Note: Installing CGminer on a router is a non-trivial task!

Some of the scripts may need tweaking to your specific system.

Thanks, spelling's not my strong suit
Let me know what changes or additional steps need to be added.
Cheers.
wow, great work

Near as I can tell, over 8 hours of mining, 20 seconds worth of processor time has been used.
I'm thinking it could well handle the max possible 100.
CGminer hardly uses any processor time. Really tiny.

I've created a little how-to for getting CGminer to run on a broadcom (mipsel processor) DD-WRT / OpenWRT enabled router.
The following file contains a readme, some scripts and the cgminer-3.8.5 binary compiled with BFL, Icarus, and ModMiner Quad FPGAs and BFL, bitfury, klondike, Hashfast, Icarus and Avalon ASICs for the mipsel architecture. This will work on Asus RT-N66U, Asus RT-N16 (which I use) and Linksys e3000, along with many other routers.

To install on Optware (OTRW / OTRW2):
1). Copy the file to your router USB drive, then navigate to that directory in telnet/ssh.
2). If cgminer is already running, issue:
> service cgminer stop
3). Type:
> ipkg install cgminer_x.x.x_mipsel.ipk
If you already had it running, it'll ask about the overwriting the config file. Press enter to keep your one.
4). Type
> service cgminer start
