I have never used ez-ipupdate program so i can't help with that.

By the sounds of it you have got ssh access to the router all you need
to do is type
ipkg info <package>

here is an example

root at OpenWrt:~# ipkg info nvram
Package: nvram
Version: 1
Section: sys
Architecture: mipsel
Maintainer: OpenWrt Developers Team <openwrt-devel at openwrt.org>
MD5Sum: 3143f87539189ed795af5b68d5f37f6a
Size: 11305
Filename: nvram_1_mipsel.ipk
Source: http://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/whiterussian/openwrt/package/nvram
Description: NVRAM utility and libraries for Broadcom hardware

iirc  webif^2 web interface from http://x-wrt.org/ in its package
manager section has descriptions of the packages.

Sorry i can't be much help with the web interface stuff as i use a
micro install of Openwrt on my router and only have ssh access to it

HTH

Dale
