Issue 58: configure WiFi

Reported by Nikolaus Schaller, Apr 30, 2010

configure the internal WiFi

Comment 1 by Nikolaus Schaller, Apr 30, 2010

The firmware *may* be available through

http://wiki.zenwalk.org/index.php?title=Zd1211-firmware

There are also some installation instructions

Comment 2 by Nikolaus Schaller, May 1, 2010

installation of firmware and driver works now.
Needs to install whatever we need to configure (iwconfig?).

Comment 3 by Nikolaus Schaller, Aug 24, 2010

the entry "zydas" in /etc/network/interfaces appears to be 
bad...

And, we automatically should switch poer (echo "1" 
>/proc/jz/wifi-power) on ifup/ifdown.

Comment 4 by Nikolaus Schaller, Aug 24, 2010

Autoswitching power should be possible through:

# builtin WLAN
auto eth1
pre-up sh -c 'echo "1" >/proc/jz/wifi-power'
post-down sh -c 'echo "0" >/proc/jz/wifi-power'
...

I read through the mailinglist archives and 
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw

but don't seem to get beyond succesfully loading the module.

I've tried 20100504-lenny400, 20100506-lenny400 and unstable, 
however nothing relevant appears in /proc
