First, let’s download the sources of a distribution, compile it as it comes and install it in the router. The next step would be to modify a part of it as you need. Download the source code from WhiteRussian distribution from this page: http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/0.9/ Use this URL: http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/0.9/whiterussian-0.9.tar.bz2 unzip and move to the whiterussian-0.9/ folder.
