OK, since we have Barrier Breaker RC2 and going towards the Final Release, a little feedback for the devs and anyone else who's interested.
- My ISP uses IPv6, and without touching anything in the default configuration, my ADSL connection works like a charm. And solid rock!

- My two Huawei USB modems (E173 & E3131) need two things to work. First, a file /etc/modules.d/60-usb-serial with the modem's vendor and product code, for example:
usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1506
And second, usbmode must be enabled:
/etc/init.d/usbmode enable
- The led configuration is slightly different than AA 12.09
Here is mine:
config led 'led_power'
option name 'power'
option sysfs 'power'
option default '0'
option trigger 'default-on'
config led 'led_security'
option name 'security'
option sysfs 'security'
option default '0'
option trigger 'phy0tpt'
config led 'led_wifi'
option name 'wifi'
option sysfs 'wifi'
option default '0'
option trigger 'phy0tpt'
config led 'led_dsl'
option name 'dsl'
option sysfs 'dsl'
option default '0'
option trigger 'netdev'
option mode 'link tx rx'
option dev 'nas0'
config led 'led_online'
option name 'online'
option sysfs 'online'
option default '0'
option trigger 'none'
config led 'led_online2'
option name 'online2'
option sysfs 'online2'
option default '0'
option trigger 'netdev'
option mode 'tx rx'
option dev 'nas0'
config led 'led_usb'
option name 'usb'
option sysfs 'usb'
option default '0'
option trigger 'default-on'
config led 'led_movie'
option name 'movie'
option sysfs 'movie'
option default '0'
option trigger 'timer'
option delayon '1000'
option delayoff '1000'
- The WAN configuration is also a little different.
Here is an example for a PPPoE ADSL connection (with IPv6 enabled):
config atm-bridge 'atm'
option encaps 'llc'
option payload 'bridged'
option vci '35'
option vpi '8'
config adsl 'dsl'
option annex 'a'
option firmware '/lib/firmware/adsl.bin'
config interface 'wan'
option ifname 'nas0'
option proto 'pppoe'
option username 'user@isp.net'
option password 'XXXXXXXXX'
option ipv6 '1'
config interface 'wan6'
option ifname '@wan'
option proto 'dhcpv6'
- The BB RC2 image includes Annex B firmware, so If you use Annex A, remove B and install A.
opkg remove kmod-ltq-adsl-ar9-fw-b
opkg install kmod-ltq-adsl-ar9-fw-a
- br2684ctl is enabled by default
- Default theme is bootstrap, if you want the nice old openwrt theme...
opkg install luci-theme-openwrt
- I also have two TP-Link TL-WN722N (Atheros AR9271) WLAN USB dongles, which they do NOT work with ath9k-htc module.
(There are a couple of tickets open for this issue).
Here is the log:

If I remember anything else which might be important, I will add it.
