FTP your file to the tmp folder.

Start up a telnet session and type

Apt-get update

hit enter

then type

Dpkg -i /tmp/*.deb

hit enter

Click to expand...

Ferrrt gave you above the command line for it.
Since you have an error message, let see if you have deb package installed.
Run this command

dpkg –help

If you have error,than flash your box again or change image.

Upper and lower case letters are different under linux.
You have to type commands like this:
apt-get update
dpkg -i /tmp/*.deb

Move the .deb file to / tmp and then

opkg update
opkg install /tmp/*.ipk


If the plugin has dependencies then

  1. dpkg -i /tmp/*.deb
  2. apt-get update
  3. apt-get -y -f install


Look here
