Hi Could you tell me what the details for apply openwrt-mod?

just git clone to source folder? or copy all files of openwrt-mod to source folder?

thank you

git clone or copy should be ok, but I would rather store this repository in a seperated dir and make a symbolic link to the root of lede source tree to keep a clean directory structure.

By the way, as the repository is not updated for a long time, you may have to fix a lot of conflicts. Feel free to open pull requests.
