 ## Description
 If you’re planning an upcoming vacation or a business trip, taking your laptop, tablet or smartphone give you the ability to connect with friends or complete work on the go. But many hotels don’t have a secure wireless network setup or you’re limited on using a single device at once. Investing in a portable, mini travel router is a great way to connect all of your devices at once while having total control over your own personalized wireless network.

 ## OpenWrt / LEDE trunk Installation & Usage
 * install 'travelmate' (_opkg install travelmate_)
 * configure your network to support (multiple) wlan uplinks and set travelmate config options (details see below)
+* set 'trm\_enabled' option in travelmate config to '1'
 * travelmate starts automatically during boot, triggered by procd as soon as the wireless subsystem is up & running
 
 ## Chaos Calmer installation notes
 * 'travelmate' is _not_ available as an ipk package in the Chaos Calmer download repository
