root at ariadne:/tmp# wget https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/ar7

wget: SSL support not available, please install ustream-ssl


Sure, no problem.


root at ariadne:/tmp# opkg install ustream-ssl
Unknown package 'ustream-ssl'.
Collected errors:
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package ustream-ssl.


Do you find that as confusing as I do?  Okay, let's guess the package name.


root at ariadne:/tmp# opkg install libustream-polarssl
...
root at ariadne:/tmp# wget https://downloads.lede-project.org/snapshots/targets/ar71xx/generic/lede-ar71xx-generic-wndr3700v2-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

At that point, I gave up, and just downloaded to my laptop and transferred to the router over scp.
