Hi, all!

I had the need for Wlan support for zydas based usb-adapters,
the driver is already included, but the firmware files are missing.

Here is the custom script (zd1211) to include it in DL.
Firmware for zydas can be found here.

The next i was looking for, was a tool to connect to
a WPA2 device.
Unfortunately there is no tool included right now.
I grabbed wpa_supplicant and compiled it for my custom-DL.
A default wpa_supplicant configuration file goes to /etc
After setting the right network etc. it works fine for me.

I think there are (maybe) a few more people who want to use wlan
with DL, so i attached my scripts - feel free to add them in the
next release, if you find them useful.

I don't know, if it is a good idea to implement wlan support for
a firewall distro - especially when you know about the last findings
about WPA (TKIP) protection, but as always in DL - you have the choice
to use it or not  :-)
Any opinions?
