OpenWRT is fantastic piece of firmware but i have a few problems with it. I have been trying to auto mount various usb stics and hdds (ntfs, ext4, exfat) but with no success. I installed all packages as suggested by Wingspinner except kmod-app-samba as Luci throws an error. Not sure if that's the reason usb drives are not being detected?

Did you install kmod-fs-ext4?
What is the output of lsmod | grep ext4?
Is your ext4 stick listed in /etc/config/fstab?
I also had an issue with the samba app for LuCI..!
When I did the package installs (opkg) the first time, ...it found, and loaded the kmod-app-samba, but I had an error saying no memory left, when I tried also installing miniDLNA, and it said there were too many packages on the ROM ...causing me to lose everything I had installed, when I rebooted..! (Even all the configs for the opkg.conf, and network changes I made)
When I started over again, the second time I tried loading the kmod-app-samba it didn't find it, and 'opkg install kmod-app-samba' returned an error that it's unavailable.
Does this happen some times if OpenWRT is updating the packages?
Or did my ROM memory being full cause it to not see it the second time I installed all the packages?
I had to issue a 'firstboot' command in the serial console, because every time I tried modifying the network config file and rebooted to be able to get online thru my routers Ethernet port again, it would lose the new config I changed, using the 'vi' command.
It took me a while to realize I needed to try the 'firstboot' command again, before continuing.
I also wanted to create a miniDLNA server on 1 of the 3 TM02 routers I have, and bridge all of them to my main home router.
So, one will be a webCam, one will be the DLNA server, and the 3rd, I don't know yet, but it's a spare.

Anyway...I want to also report, to everyone here,...
I successfully installed the video drivers and packages, including the MJPG-Streamer and the LuCI control of it...and now have the TM02 locally streaming a 1280x720 30FPS video stream to my iPad2 Generic WebCam App. ...it's wild..!
I got info on how to initialize the video stream to the iPad App from ...
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/webcam
Where it said to simply enter the URL of ...
http://192.168.1.1:8080/?action=stream
...so I put that into the login section of the webCam iPad App...and to my amazement, it worked to view the video stream.
Is there a WebCam server that can create a public IP for this, that will work in OpenWRT, on the TM02?
Or is this part of my main home router (WRT54G v8) firmware that needs to do it?
What I'd like to ultimately do, is have one TM02 act as a webCam server, ...
...and one act as a DLNA server,
all connected to my main home router, thru WiFi, or Ethernet...
...able to be accessed on a public IP address.
I need to try the miniDLNA install again, on the second TM02,
if the kmod-app-samba or LuCI control of it isn't available any longer.
