I will try to make it quick.

Format a flash drive with ext2 or ext3. I’m not sure if this is required or just recommended. Note the name of the partition; for this  example I will use entware. Plug the flash drive in the DSL-AC88U.

Entware installation:

1.Telent into the DSL-AC88U.

Probably not necessary, but I put everything into asusware.arm directory as I thought AsusWRT would read and execute .asusrouter from there as it does with the “normal” optware install.

mkdir /mnt/entware/asusware.arm

Make /opt/ a symlink to the entware flash drive:

ln -sf /tmp/mnt/entware/asusware.arm /tmp/opt

Install entware

wget -O - http://bin.entware.net/armv7sf-k3.2/installer/generic.sh | sh

Add the entware installation to PATH and run its start scripts

PATH=~/opt/bin:$PATH
PATH=~/opt/sbin:$PATH
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start

And opkg should then work, until the next restart where you will need to do the following to get entware working again.

ln -sf /tmp/mnt/entware/asusware.arm /tmp/opt
PATH=~/opt/bin:$PATH
PATH=~/opt/sbin:$PATH
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung start

I have read on some german forum that .asusrouter script will only get executed if it matches the original that gets created during Asus’ optware install. Makes sense as I could never get a modified .asusrouter to work. I had no luck with script_usbmount either.
