Don't know exactly, but wifi is served by "vntwusb" kernel module.

I pasted log here:

config file for wpa_supplicant now is:
ctrl_interface=/tmp/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="dima"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
#psk=251bdf8dae035c415fa63a77bd568be598545e05e7dd132bde0e136cb5f341d1
psk="12345678"
}

It seems that ifconfig eth1 192.168.0.103 can assign IP address, but
the interface still doesn't work, "route add default gw 192.168.0.1
dev eth1" says that network is unreachable. My DHCP client is udhcpc
from busybox 1.7.2 (udhcpc from Debian Lenny doesn't work too). By the
way, DHCP from the same router but for Ethernet card works fine.
I strace-d udhcpc, and it seems that udhcpc sends DHCP broadcast
packets, but cannot recieve any answer. (With WEP security type
configured on router, DHCP works!).
Thanks.
