Gumstix Overo Fire!!!
But it is not only for overo issue. I never think ANTENNA is so much important in very close range.
When I try check wifi chip RT2870, It is still not work completely.
Anyway Fire:88W8686 needs ANTENNA even 30cm radius from AP.
And headache cross compile RT2870.
Change Makefile like that,Hope it will help for another too.
I used bitbake, So better use that tool chain for cross compile. Because bitbake already gitted kernel headers and build tool chain.
For example, little change RT2870's Makefile.
in ~/tmp/work dir there is source for build and ~/tmp/cross dir there is Tool chain.
But end of line should be "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-", compiler will attach on that end.
'HAS_WPA_SUPPLICANT=y' and 'HAS_NATIVE_WPA_SUPPLICANT_SUPPORT=n'
that version doesn't work in arm... still I am testing.

I'm also trying to get a wifi USB stick working under Angstrom but on a beagleboard.
Can you tell me what bitbake recipe you used?
my email: dcopeto(at)gmail.com
thanks a lot for the help!

I used omap3-console-image and usually at default that build rt73,rt2500,rt2x00 wifi chip drivers.
Which wifi chip will you use for beagleboard ?
also you can check it which wifi driver will build in defconfig file at your build image taget .bb file.
I don't have any recipe named omap3-console-image. :(
I want to use rt2870 with a linksys usb device with ID 1737:0077
Can you give me any hints on how to add this somehow?
thanks a lot for the help,

~org.openembedded.dev/recipes/images/omap3-console-image.bb
and build rt2870 driver above way.
good luck!
