[oe] USB wifi configuration

[Stephen Arnold]

It pretty much depends on your image recipe (and/or kernel recipe if you've
got a custom one).  It sounds like your custom kernel config is being used,
which is the first thing to check (there should be a kernel module package
with your driver).

Second is what gets installed to the image , so you would need to check
your image recipe (and any include files) to see whether anything installs
"kernel-modules" or a list of individual module packages (not sure if
there's a package_group).  I specifically include kernel-modules in my
image recipes so I get them all, but if you only want specific ones then
you probably need to list each one in your IMAGE_INSTALL.  So either add
"kernel-modules" or the package name to your image, or maybe just include
an image that already does that (eg, console-image).
