I just got my mbwe yesterday, and after messing around a bit and reading various bits and pieces I realized that very little work has been done on this one yet. A couple of my observations so far (I just throw it out here in case it is useful to somebody):
ipkg installed just fine.
ldconfig not installed. .bashrc and .bash_profile not run when shell started - not sure which shell /bin/sh is, both ash and msh is included. source not installed.
No gcc, make etc.
I tried installing and running lftp as requested by bzhou in other thread. Did not work, one error message in configuring (no idea if that is important) and error message when trying to run:

I also tried installing Transmission (this is what I started doing first which finally led me here). libiconv is not in feed as far as I can see. I'm able to start Transmission, but it crashes as soon as it tries to access /opt/share/transmission/web/javascript/transmission.js (at least that is what it looks like). In my browser, I get a the html, but fails to download the .js etc (I think). I have verified that the transmission.js exists and have chmoded it to make sure it wasn't an acccess problem.
