I don’t think you can use opkg with the repositories as the vermagic of your (bpi official) image will never match the vermagic of the official openwrt repos. Hence any package requires kernel modules will fail to install. Your only option is to download the bpi official source code that produced that image and compile the required packages. Than upload and install them manually.
