The bastard showed up on my h5400 and I must say it works quite well... With
WEP encryption.....

Now I am afraid to reboot the machine not to break it:P

I had to play with devmem2 to enable it, add the firmware to /lib/firmware and
reload the at76_usb. 
All the configuration is set statically - no dhcp. 

What now ....? 
Koen - could you share the address he got the firmware from ? I would correct
the ipk for the firmware. If not I can create a recepie to get the firmware
from bugzilla (but I think it is a kind of ugly approach).

I can create a shell script (for now...) setting the correct bits, if anybody
wants that...

Is there anybody willing to help in moving this ugly hack to some sort of a
nice "driver"? I guess the hardest thing would be starting the work.... 
(Milan: dmabouncing  should not be a grate problem...)
Milan - again - what these bits do? How did you know they are the ones
responsible? Do they play with GPIOs ? I ask, because I think how to implement
it tn the driver.

My personal comment is that we are close of getting it working in nice way, so
let's not stop in the half way... Wifi is a nice feature - on of few missing
the full support on h5000.
