Merlin, quick question on alpha2 and RT-AX58U. It appears the /opt/var directory is missing. I seemed to recall that you had corrected a Broadcom script that created the /opt structure - and that you had added /opt/var. Is that in this release?
Did you try setting up Entware through amtm? I remember specifically addressing this during development, unless the commit got lost when I migrated it from the private into the public code repo.
