Hi, I wanted to set up librespeed on my bananapi r4 but after installing it and enabling it, it didn't work. Searching the wiki didn't yield any result and neither did the package page.

After a bit of headscratching, I've learned that you need to modify the stock config files to enable it and then start the service. Even if you discount the stock config files being in disable mode (why would I install something if i did want it turned off?), not having that info available anywhere a non-expert can find it makes it unintuitive.

If you guys want i can write a few lines of wiki article to help newbies out 🙂 .

Cheers!

I think this [https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/8951](https://github.com/openwrt/luci/pull/8951) could help you with that. 🙂  
At least it would make the measurement more accessible to regular users, rather than just developers and geeks playing around in the command line.
