It worked for me on a 7260. Here is what I had that I think someone else posted before.  On the newer 7260, they might install more of the modules by default.

insmod usbcore
insmod pcipool
insmod usb-ohci
insmod usb-ohci-ep93xx
insmod scsi_mod
insmod sd_mod
insmod /path/to/zd.o

ifconfig wlan0 up
iwconfig wlan0 essid wappy
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.99
ping 192.168.0.5

Hmm, I am still stuck. Anyone have any suggestions? I neglected to
mention that I'm using the included WIFI-G-USB option from
embeddedarm.com, an IOGear GWU-523. Has anyone else gotten this to work
with a TS-7260?
