Public bug reported: In the Lucid TI OMAP kernel, NetworkManager and wicd, as well as all command line tools such as iwlist, fail to work. This seems to be due to CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT being disabled.
Example error from NetworkManager: NetworkManager: <WARN> wireless_get_range(): (wlan0): couldn't get driver range information (95). NetworkManager: <WARN> constructor(): (wlan0): Device unsupported, ignoring.
