I didn't try kernel modules, but I can confirm that I was able to point
to the openwrt package list and just install stuff from there.
Since I read on one of your pages or posts (I forget) that it takes you too
long to build the repo, may I suggest that you just point to it or copy it
over? :)

All I had to do was:
root@wireless:~# cat /etc/opkg.conf 
#src/gz sugarland http://huchra.bufferbloat.net/~cero1/3.3/3.3.8-26/packages
src/gz sugarland
http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-beta2/ar71xx/generic/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay

and I was able to install screen and minicom and then I can switch
the config back to cerowrt for other packages.
(I didn't check if I can have both sources active at the same time, I'm not
knowledgeable about opkg much).

This one, I want to make sure not everything will break if I do that.

I haven't done the entire config yet, but got the packages installed.

So, I think it's just a matter of switching the routing config back to
bridging (sorry :) ).
I'll see if I can figure out how to do that with the GUI or command line.
