I'm using unstable with opkg upgrade. I also managed to hook up with opkgorg repo and successfully installed eightball. When you install wicd, you will not be asked to enter your PIN :( Deinstalling wicd fixes this. Just today a fix was posted for wicd, it seems the files are installed in python-2.6 in stead of python-2.5.
