What we want to do for the next linaro release 11.09 is have working USB wifi support out of the box on beagle/beagle xm with the developer image.
Tho you won't have to twist my arm hard at all to include BT in that goal as well Tony :-)
We like to keep the developer image as small as possible so the fun part is keeping this to the minimal number of packages to make it work.
For wifi I BELIEVE we just need to add wireless-tools.
WIFI without wpasupplicant is really incomplete in my terms. I don't think you get around including that if you want to claim wifi support.
Yup, we should just include wireless-tools and wpasupplicant, otherwise depending on the network type it's quite a pain to configure.
Just tested with my 3com wifi dongle after recompiling the kernel with CONFIG_ZD1211RW=m (also included at Robert Nelson's config file), and was able to easily configure my network with wpasupplicant.
My config (WPA2): root@linaro-developer:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo usb0 eth0 wlan0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet dhcp iface usb0 inet dhcp iface wlan0 inet dhcp wpa-driver wext wpa-ssid domonet # hexadecimal psk is encoded from a plaintext passphrase (generated with wpa_passphrase) wpa-psk 3eb95c07d2bcb79599318b239cbf5aefb741ecb66d46d31d95770d926f7e2ad6
