My omega 2+ works fine... I can ssh in via wifi using my iPad and a SSH app, and install python3 ok and use it interactively.

I cannot use nano or joe. They will install and "configure" with opkg but when I run them I get a long list of errors starting with a failure in libncursesw.so.6

For now I did a dirty hack of making a symbolic link of libncursesw.so.6 to libncurses.so in /usr/lib

/usr/lib/ln -s libncurses.so libncursesw.so.6

It seems there are a bunch of libncurses references all linked to libncursesw.so.5

Nano works now

Good! Thanks! I much prefer nano compared to vi ...
