modify entware-setup.sh ?

This is NOT recommended, but it's your router.

Copy the file /usr/sbin/entware-setup.sh to jffs and then modify the PART_TYPES variables on line 23 and 27 to include the jffs partition:

case $(uname -m) in
  armv7l)
    PART_TYPES='ext2|ext3|ext4|jffs2'
    INST_URL='http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv7/installer/entware_install.sh'
    ;;
  mips)
    PART_TYPES='ext2|ext3|jffs2'
    INST_URL='http://pkg.entware.net/binaries/mipsel/installer/installer.sh'
    ;;
  *)
    echo "This is unsupported platform, sorry."
    ;;
esac

The script filters out all non ext* formatted devices.
Since you usually install additional packages on it, the size of the entware folder can dramatically increase.
The jffs partition is only 30/60MB, not much room to manouver.
In addition to that, you actively decrease the lifetime of that non-replaceable memory block considerably since it's read/write cycles have a finite number.

As I said, NOT recommended. Don't even think about installing AB-Solution in jffs, it won't fit.
