Adding Entware to stock ASUSWRT firmware?

[fonix232]

So, I've been having problems with ASUSWRT-Merlin, namely I can't get it to let DHCP through in Repeater mode. As I can only use the router in this specific mode, and I need DHCP, I'm stuck with stock (latest 380.7266). Router model is RT-AC66U_B1.

I've installed Entware using the "easy script" from RMerlin's repo, which works fine - on first run. If the router is rebooted, the init scripts are not run, and thus, the mounts, etc. will not be applied.

Is there a way to add the JFFS user scripts feature to the stock firmware, without much hackery, or to make Entware work after reboot?

Try to follow this manual. Asus rc code is initially taken from Tomato, and some rudiments here is still working

So I suppose it could be modified to run the Merlin script files from jffs, since we have that storage, right?
