Hi Nathan

Turns out the WiFi drivers are in a sorry state. There is no mainline
driver. There is an OpenWRT driver, but it has not been updated for a
few years, tries to use get_fs() set_fs() pci_map_single() etc.

I've mostly used this platform for Ethernet switch development, so
i've never tried the WiFi before. I had no idea it was so broken...

So sorry, i cannot test this.
