For wireless access, the only instructions that were mentioned at mobileread are here:

I've not tested it (I have used only the wired access for now), but it should be as easy as creating a sh file with (substitute your ssid and encryption key acordingly):

#!/bin/sh
ssid="my_ssid"
enc="0102030405060708090a0b0c0d"
 /usr/bin/wireless.sh start $ssid enc $wep_key

Other than that, it works :-).

Hope that was what you were asking for ;-).

P.S.: I'll try to hack a bit in the iliad this week (document the unofficial toolchain, continue with the ted and dillo ports).
