Looks like we need to add the config's for a bunch of usb wifi drivers..

root@linaro-developer:~# uname -r
3.0.0-1004-linaro-omap

root@linaro-developer:~# ls
/lib/modules/3.0.0-1004-linaro-omap/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/
libertas  wl12xx

With my test on my beagle i have:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 07d1:3c10 D-Link System DWA-160 Xtreme N Dual
Band USB Adapter(rev.A) [Atheros AR9001U-(2)NG]

which uses the CARL9170 driver, the firmware package is ready for it..

root@linaro-developer:~# ls /lib/firmware/ | grep 9170
ar9170-1.fw
ar9170-2.fw
ar9170.fw
carl9170-1.fw

Will retest on my Panda, which has the wl12xx device...
