[gPXE] RTL-8185 staging/oremanj-4-wireless iwstat no output

[gregwm]

i just tried wireless booting ala etherboot.org/wiki/wirelessboot but,
iwstat and iwlist both return no output.  groping for ideas, perhaps should
i include other staging branches?  clues, tips, pointers, advice, or ideas
welcome.  here's what i did:
