I have a similar setup. My wifi shows up as eth1. I tried to follow your instructions, did not quite work. So I am able to load wpa_supplicant, can connect to AP, can ping and wget files from web. My system does not resolve domain names for some reason. What do I need to have DNS working? But the biggest concern is that despite the fact I can download files from internet, android does not see my wifi. UI says "unable to start wifi", and log has "E/WifiService( 601): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver." How do I actually make android's wifi friends with my driver that is underneath eth1?
