I had to 'borrow' to firmware files from the debian install that ships on the device in order to get AP mode to work. I never attempted to get it to run as a client. You can download the file system image from plugcomputer.org and exact them. I have good luck in general with the 2.6.33.5-kirkwood kernel from the 13.1 ArmedSlack distribution, after struggling with the wireless on the later kernels; even though I am using most of the other packages for a snapshot of current shortly before the release of 13.37 and a few later application layer ones with security updates.
I can send the firmware images if you need and get them out the Debian image (not entirely sure of the license); but I would try the 2.6.33.5-kirkwood kernel image from 13.1 to get your wireless going.
