in order to use the repo on http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/i586/ you would need to create a file in "/etc/opkg" folder (e.g. /etc/opkg/iot-devkit.config") with the repo sources as entry, i.e. something like

cat > /etc/opkg/iot-devkit.config <

src iot-devkit http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/

EOF

afterwards you need to call

opkg update

with that you can "opkg search" for or "opkg install" packages likewise you're used to with "apt-get" (or yum or zypper or ...)
