I have a WRT54G v2 router I flashed with openwrt 10.03.1 and I did the hardware mod for a USB port. However, I'm a rank beginner noob when it comes to the firmware/software side. My thumb drive uses a FAT file system. And installed various software packages:
kmod-fs-ext2 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-ext3 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-hfs 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-msdos 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-nfs 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-nfs-common 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-ntfs 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-fs-vfat 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-ipt-core 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-scsi-core 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-usb-core 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-usb-net 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-usb-ohci 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-usb-storage 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-usb-uhci 2.4.37.9-1
kmod-usb2 2.4.37.9-1
I imagine some of the above are not necessary, and hopefully don't interfere with each other...
I did a dmesg (via a SSH connection into the router)

So it looks like the system is seeing my thumb drive (I can see my plugging and unplugging various thumb drives above), but I haven't figured out where I can go (directory path) to look at the files on this thumb drive. In the SSH session, I can't find the /dev/sda1 directory or where /home is located. These are directories, yes? And is vfat good for thumb drives that use a FAT system?
Here's the "mount points-mount entry" info at the luci web page of the router
General settings
Device /dev/sda1
mount point /home
file system vfat
run filesystem check (yes)
What I'm hoping to be able to do is access say image files or html files from a browser on a computer on the same network this router is on. Like
192.168.1.115:80/directorypath/example.html
and have it show up in the browser like a web page.
Thanks in advance, I did lots of searching, but didn't find the clues I need...
