I recently bought a VoCore. It came pre-flashed with OpenWRT Chaos Calmer (as of 2015-03-16). OpenWRT was configured as a wireless access point, bridging with the ethernet port. Here is what I did to get it to a configuration where it acts as a NAT'ing wireless access point, similar to most consumer routers/access points:
SSH'ed to its default IP of 192.168.61.1.
Edited /etc/config/network:
... #config interface 'lan' config 'interface' 'wan' option macaddr 'b8:d8:12:60:00:01' option proto 'dhcp' config interface 'lan' option force_link '1' option macaddr 'b8:d8:12:60:00:02' option proto 'static' option ipaddr '192.168.61.1' option netmask '255.255.255.0' ...
Edited /etc/config/wireless:
... config wifi-iface option device radio0 option network lan option mode ap option ssid gaffel8080 option encryption psk2 option key palle123 ...
Edited /etc/config/dhcp:
... #config odhcpd 'odhcpd' # option maindhcp '0' # option leasefile '/tmp/hosts/odhcpd' # option leasetrigger '/usr/sbin/odhcpd-update' ...
To enable SSH from the ethernet port, I also edited /etc/config/firewall:
... config rule option src wan option proto tcp option dst_port 22 option target ACCEPT
This was all that was needed for the basic scenario of using VoCore as an accesspoint combined with a NAT'ing router.
I went a little further and installed some nice to have packages like openssh-sftp-server, nano, htop, ip, etc. However, in order to do this, I first had to fix /etc/opkg.conf:
... #src/gz cheese_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/packages/base #src/gz cheese_luci http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/packages/luci src/gz chaos_calmer_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/generic/packages/base/ src/gz chaos_calmer_luci http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/generic/packages/luci/ src/gz chaos_calmer_management http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/generic/packages/management/ src/gz chaos_calmer_packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/generic/packages/packages/ src/gz chaos_calmer_routing http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/generic/packages/routing/ src/gz chaos_calmer_telephony http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/trunk/ramips/generic/packages/telephony/
After that I could install the extra packages by running the following:
opkg update opkg install openssh-sftp-server opkg install nano opkg install htop opkg install ip
Also, I recommend disabling Luci, as it is buggy, and a security concern:
rm /www/cgi-bin/luci echo "A private box" > /www/index.html
