I want to add a feature to a pre-configured embedded machine with uname -a output:

Linux asdf 3.1.10 #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Nov 11 02:05:03 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

It uses busybox for a lot of its terminal commands and has a lot of stuff that doesn't work. It uses opkg as its package manager. I wanted to update systemd the other day and so I typed opkg update, which gave

Downloading http://www.website-of-manufacturer.com/ipk2/all/Packages.gz.
wget: bad address 'website-of-manufacturer.com:8008'

So I wanted to update the list of repositories, which should be done by editing /etc/opkg.conf if I understand correctly. But there is no such file. So after reading this I simply created it and pasted the example from the link.

But after running opkg update again, it still looks for http://www.website-of-manufacturer.com/ipk2/all/Packages.gz! What can I do to remove this repo and add others?

Edit: I also tried grep -Ril website-of-manufacturer in rootdir, but the installed version of grep doesn't support those flags so I don't even know where the configuration file is located :D

Edit: Ok find ./ -type f | xargs grep "website-of-manufacturer" actually located the file I was looking for. I guess I'll answer my own question if this works.

Since grep -r was not working, I could not find the config file. But then I tried 

find ./ -type f | xargs grep "website-of-manufacturer"

which located the file containing the repository list. Neat trick for environments where grep isn't working like it should.
