http://downloads.openwrt.org/backports/0.9/irssi_0.8.10-1_mipsel.ipk
http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/glib1_1.2.10-1_mipsel.ipk
http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/libpthread_0.9.27-1_mipsel.ipk
http://download2.berlios.de/pub/xwrt/packages/libncurses_5.2-8_mipsel.ipk

and let say i am logged in as admin.

root@wl500g,~> ipkg list | grep irssi
irssi - 0.8.11-1 - A terminal based IRC client for UNIX systems.
So, irssi is available as optware package for the Oleg's firmware.
To set right repository, do:

cat > /opt/etc/ipkg.conf << EOF
src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable
dest /opt/ /
EOF

Afterwards reinstall all packages

thank you it works better and better from steb by step, but I am getting this error: ipkg: Cannot create symlink from ./opt/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 to 'libglib-2.0.so.0.600.6': Operation not permitted

well, i found i will need to buy some linux book :-)

seems to be a really good idea

not very clear. However, for the installation of the packages it's not good idea to use fat32 partition. Use ext3 instead. (fat32 doesn't support symlinks at all)
