What we want to do for the next linaro release 11.09 is have working USB wifi support out of the box on beagle/beagle xm with the developer image.
Tho you won't have to twist my arm hard at all to include BT in that goal as well Tony :-) We like to keep the developer image as small as possible so the fun part is keeping this to the minimal number of packages to make it work. For wifi I BELIEVE we just need to add wireless-tools. So here's what I'd like you to do. Grab the developer rootfs - http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-developer/20110831/0/images/tar/ grab the omap3 hwpack - http://snapshots.linaro.org/11.05-daily/linaro-hwpacks/omap3/20110831/0/images/hwpack/ Install to sd with linaro-media-create. If you can apt-get install wireless-tools and see if that's enough to get your wifi working. If not what else did you need? For bluetooth, same Q if you want to have that as a goal as well. It's optional. Either way I don't have a wifi USB device or BT so your help is essential! Thanks!
