I don't own one with wifi, and it's not mentioned on the port's page. Some USB NICs (wired and wireless) are supported and can be used with imx or panda boards.

I've played with the armv7 port extensively and don't think it's useful for anyone who is not interested in hacking on the platform. >
If the banana pi r1 were fully supported, it would be a reasonably priced candidate, but that still begs the question of why it has to be armv7. There are a lot of low cost low power amd64 boards on the market and if you run stable and have an existing build infrastructure (like I do), you can build considerably faster on a big amd64 box and roll out updates quicker (compared to building on, say, a beaglebone black).
