Webmin on Entware for DD-WRT

Question: Can Webmin be installed on a router running DD-WRT firmware with Entware installed?

Answer: Yes (and I did it)

This is not a step by step list of instructions on how to do it, so it probably isn't for beginners. Instead it is a brain dump of all the important information I used that hopefully will be useful to people somewhat experienced with Linux operating systems and DD-WRT (OpenWRT too).

The Beginning

I'm using a Buffalo WZR-600DHP Router with an Atheros AR7161 CPU (AKA System on a Chip) which is based on the MIPS 24Kc foundation (single CPU, not dual)

There are no OPKG installations available, so I downloaded the TAR file and used the instructions

Well as it turns out the opkg install command doesn't allow for wildcards, so after a quick bit of research, I located a webpage (https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-to-install-a-package-using-opkg-from-a-piped-search-result-4175580790/) where a nice guy named "magische_vogel" had come up with this command;

opkg list | grep WhatEverNamePackagesBeginWith| awk '{print $1}' | xargs opkg install
