I could finally install everything onto my 4MB WRT54g v2.2. Avoided ntpclient plus dependencies with the patch from #7316. Added BusyBox's ether-wake to the build. Put all kmods (2) I needed into the kernel. This freed up enough JFFS2 space to normally install OpenVPN and a web-interface (here webif).
Would be great if #7316 and its dependency #7312 could be committed to trunk and backfire. After this I would also update the ntpclient package to reduce flash mem usage for it too, Kind regards Maddes P.S.: Thanks Bastian for all the quick infos.
