  The bits are not (unfortunately) in the driver. You need to enable power to
wifi before using it and that is something what at76c503 driver doesn't do
right now.

  If you want to do it manually, you will need devmem2 package, and to this:
1) Execute
  gpiodev 0x140c0014
  which will return you some value read from that area in physical memory.
2) Switch bits 1 and 3 to logical 1 (bits counting from 0), you can attain this
by doing logical OR of these values and 10 (0xa).
3) Write that value back to memory, e.g.:
  gpiodev 0x140c0014 w 0xyourvalue

  To disable wifi, you need to do similar process, just in point 2 you need to
set those two bits to zero.

  So far nothing will indicate functionality of wifi, as the driver doesn't
contain proper support for tx/rx LEDs (iirc), but you should see new USB device
in output of 'lsusb' on the ipaq.

  Yes.

  No problem, just for the record, if there's any problem, there is also
h5400-port at handhelds.org
