Here is a packaged built for atheros that include the patch submitted to the ticket: http://hk.airpost.net/openwrt/mjpg-streamer_r94-1_6499diff_atheros.ipk

Opkg will fetch the dependencies from the regular OpenWrt repository. See my previous post get what is needed to stream with your webcam on OpenWrt.

Webcam streaming with openwrt backfire

Unlike OpenWrt kamikaze 8.09.2, newest release backfire 10.03 needs the following packages to get a UVC webcam to stream on the web:

# opkg install kmod-usb2 kmod-video-uvc kmod-i2c-core kmod-input-core mjpg-streamer

Start the demon with:

# /etc/init.d/mjpg-streamer start

Note that an hotplug script was created in /etc/hotplug.d/usb and that the mjpg_streamer will start as soon as the webcam is connected.

Config is in: /etc/config/mjpg-streamer
