Hmm, revision 771be5e76b42e43330b225a2af3afbecdf9e9115 re-introduces the
WPA problem for all Zaurii:
http://bugs.openembedded.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4180
In the meantime I had some mails with Richard and backported his
linux-rp 2.6.24 changes to -stable.
It seems that WPA isn't working out of the box on Poodle, C7x0 and 860
because the modules
- ieee80211softmac
- ieee80211
- cryptomgr
are not available in the default configuration.
Bugzilla 4180 worked around that problem by compiling the modules
statically into the kernel.
I think this patch (copy&pasted here) should do it.
I still need to fully test it, but it gives the idea:

Basically I proposed the "MACHINE_FEATURES_append_poodle" patch once in
this thread already:
http://projects.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-devel/2008-February/001812.html
It was discussed, but not resolved yet.
Without this patch the wifi and crypto modules will not be copied to the
base image.
The second change in zaurus-2.6.inc (MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS_poodle)
was already suggested on the stable mailing list by Hans Henry to be
backported. Without this patch, kernel modules for compact flash bus
(and CF Wifi cards) will not be installed and turns the slot unusable.
The third change, which adds a few crypto modules to
RRECOMMENDS_task-base-wifi, adds the missing modules for WPA support in
the base image.
In general it would be great if this patch (or a similiar one) could go
into -dev and -stable, as Poodle with 2.6.24 works pretty well in all
other areas (http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/ZaurusPoodle).
If the patch can be accepted I'd propose to backport RP's 2.6.24 kernel
patches as well to -stable.
