USB Wireless

From the technologics guys:

We provide a precompiled driver for USB wifi devices that use the Zydas
zd1211 chipset.

A wireless enet card that uses this chipset:

USB iogear GWU523

Driver:

zd.o (downloadable from technologics at ftp://oz.embeddedarm.com/wireless/zd1211)

The magic that gets me an IP address:

$ ifconfig wlan0 up
$ /sbin/udhcpc -H ts7200 -b -i wlan0
