The first important thing to note is that Kamikaze does not come with a web interface by default. Once you’re up and running you can install the unstable version by doing logging in via SSH and running the following:

ipkg install http://downloads.x-wrt.org/xwrt/kamikaze/7.09/brcm-2.4/webif_latest.ipk

That’s assuming you’re using a WRT54G, if not you’ll need to get the one for your architecture.

The other important thing to note is that your settings will be wiped and the device will return to using an IP of 192.168.1.1

The first thing you’ll need to do is telnet in and set a root password. Once that’s done, you can setup your device using the ‘uci’ command, like so:

root@OpenWrt:~# uci show network.lan
network.lan=interface
network.lan.type=bridge
network.lan.ifname=eth0.0
network.lan.proto=static
network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.3
network.lan.netmask=255.255.255.0

You can then change setting using ‘uci set network.lan.ipaddr=192.168.1.3′. Once you’re wired ethernet is setup you’ll probably want to move onto wireless:

root@OpenWrt:~# uci show wireless
wireless.wl0=wifi-device
wireless.wl0.type=broadcom
wireless.wl0.channel=5
wireless.wl0.disabled=0
wireless.cfg2=wifi-iface
wireless.cfg2.device=wl0
wireless.cfg2.network=lan
wireless.cfg2.mode=ap
wireless.cfg2.ssid=DavesLAN
wireless.cfg2.encryption=psk
wireless.cfg2.key=

Set your key and SSID as you did for the wired Ethernet, and then make sure you set ‘wireless.wl0.disabled=0′ or nothing will work.

Once all your settings are in place, run ‘uci commit’ and everything should be working again.
