 To resolve the issue, the ''cygwin'' terminal information from ''C:\cygwin64\usr\share\terminfo\63\cygwin'' (assuming the cygwin install root is at ''C:\cygwin64'') should be copied over to ''/usr/share/terminfo/c/cygwin''. Note that the ''terminfo'' OpenWrt package does not contain the ''c'' directory under ''/usr/share/terminfo'' such that it will have to be created before copying over the file.
+====== Making Samba Bind to Interfaces ======
+On OpenWrt version ''18.06.1'', the Samba template files contains a variable that should be interpolated:
+<code>
+interfaces = |INTERFACES|
+</code>
+unfortunately, the interfaces do not seem to be configurable via LuCi and even using ''uci'' to set the variable ''samba.@samba[0].interfaces'' to some value will only make OpenWrt interpolate an empty string instead of the configured value.
+Seeing that the interfaces to listen on cannot be configured via LuCi, removing the ''interfaces = |INTERFACES|'' line and hardcoding the interfaces to listen on seems to be the best option.
+====== Getting Python Running Properly ======
+Unfortunately for quite a few releases (LEDE), the python ''setuptools'' package seems to be broken such that running depending software may bomb out with:
+<code>
+pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'setuptools' distribution was not found and is required by
+</code>
+The solution is to install ''pip'' via:
+<code bash>
+opkg install python-pip
+</code>
+and then reinstall ''pip'' and ''setuptools'':
+<code bash>
+pip install -U pip setuptools
+</code>
