Hello, I'm new to openwrt, sorry if I ask stupid questions. I've searched the forum and the wiki before asking this. So, I've just compiled kamikaze from svn and flashed it to my WL-500gP router and it works fine so far.  I'm a little confused about the additional packages. What should I do to install them? Do I have to make a local ftp server and update the ipkg config to use this server?

no update ipkg.conf with download configuration than ipkg install package will install requested package...

i have my package directory symlinked to my internal webserver root.  That way, I can add my local webserver to /etc/ipkg.conf and then pull packages from there. works great for me.

So ipkg doesn't work with ftp servers?

The discussion might have continued from here.
