What did you use for the wireless (if anything)? I gave up trying to use Debian on an Alix board with an Atheros radio because the open ath9k stuff is missing all of the vendor work-arounds that make the radio actually function for more than 20 minutes in a row. I'd love to revisit that project if I thought it wasn't a complete waste of my time.
