I've got a WRT54G v2.2 running Backfire 10.03. I wish to configure it to use an Android device as a WAN gateway (via WiFi) for computers connected to the LAN (via the ethernet ports). The Android device seems to provide NAT and DHCP, and uses the Ad-Hoc type of network (It's Barnacle WiFi Tether: http://szym.net/barnacle/ ). Its encryption can be none, or WEP.
(Please forgive me if I use the wrong terminology here and there for this network stuff--it's not something on which I have a strong grasp.)
I've spent some time reading OpenWRT documentation and exploring the shell and http interface, but I'm still not quite confident on where to begin. Am I correct in thinking I can do the configuration largely by editing the files in /etc/config?
