New guide to installing everything from scratch on the Widy.
steps
Get version 2 of firmware here: https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-mr3040#version_2x
Use Chaos Calmer: https://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/openwrt-15.05-ar71xx-generic-tl-mr3040-v2-squashfs-factory.bin
Do not use Barrier Breaker, it has kernel problems with usb /scsi kernel modules.
Flash router with firmware image (if already running OpenWrt, go to web console and pick System > Flash Firmware, if using built-in admin panel then do System Tools > Firmwware Upgrade).
Connect Widy to internet. Either connect ethernet cable, or use web control panel to connect to a wifi network as a client.
And... we can install kmod-usb-storage, but we run out of space before we can install kmod-fs-ext4.
That means we're stuck with Barrier Breaker, and if we can't get Barrier Breaker's kernel modules working, this entire venture is all... worthless.
opkg config
Maybe this is the problem?
/etc/opkg.conf config file seems to be on chaos calmer even though I re-flashed with barrier breaker image.
dest root / dest ram /tmp lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists option overlay_root /overlay options check_signature 1
barrier breaker:

chaos calmer:
src/gz chaos_calmer_base http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/base src/gz chaos_calmer_luci http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/luci src/gz chaos_calmer_packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/packages src/gz chaos_calmer_routing http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/routing src/gz chaos_calmer_telephony http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/telephony src/gz chaos_calmer_management http://downloads.openwrt.org/chaos_calmer/15.05/ar71xx/generic/packages/management
Nope. That wasn't the problem.
insmod
Via this thread: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/19351
Tried the following commands:
$ insmod scsi_mod $ insmod sd_mod
Then removed and installed:
$ opkg remove kmod-usb-storage $ opkg install kmod-usb-storage
That seemed to work okay.
