Install brctl for OpenWrt - which package?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm getting an error in OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment that says:
-ash: brctl: not found
when I run
brctl addif br-lan mesh0
I tried:
opkg update
opkg install brctl
But I got this error:
Unknown package brctl
Is brctl in a larger package? If so, what package do I need to install use it?
Also, for future reference, is there a manual or something that lists what functions are in what packages?
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll try that. I have been searching Google but I've been finding a lot of conflicting info. One Openwrt ticket said the problem was fixed by going to another OS. An Openwrt wiki had some brctl patches but not one package. I just wanted to keep my question short since it seemed fairly straightforward. I never can find the balance between too much and too little info on stack exchange sites.

Unfortunately OpenWRT information on packages can be quite sketchy and opkg doesn't have a facility to search for a file in packages that are not yet installed, which doesn't help.
I don't have access to a system running Attitude Adjustment (12.09), but on my routers running Barrier Breaker (14.07), brctl is provided by BusyBox:
# opkg search /usr/sbin/brctl
busybox - 1.22.1-2
# ls -l /usr/sbin/brctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Oct 2 2014 /usr/sbin/brctl -> ../../bin/busybox
I believe it should be the same on Attitude Adjustment but some searching revealed that a full version of brctl is available in the bridge package. To install:
# opkg update
# opkg install bridge
If you did have a brctl symlink in /usr/sbin, you'd need to remove it before installing though.
