Peter,
I couldn't get the Wi-Fi to work with ts11, nor the newer versions
(those ts11 with dates). Same driver sources fail for ts11 but work
for ts10... so it if the problem comes from the kernel, not the
modules (I'm not saying it is the case), I guess you will end up
flashing a new kernel anyway.
If you want to try ts9 or 10 (you'll have to build the zd.o module for
ts10 using the code from TS) you may flash the new kernel (I don't
recomend this), copy a kernel image and it's modules to the board file
system, and boot it with bootload, or my favorite, load a kernel via
http and using an NFS root. I use the following script for that, after
 ^C on minicom, so I don't have to write the hole thing every time
(you run it on a terminal on your Linux PC connected to the TS7260
through RS232):
----------------------cut here---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
TTY=/dev/ttyUSB0
TSIP=192.168.2.2
SERVERIP=192.168.2.1
ROOT=/opt/ts7260/tslinux
IMAGE=/vmlinux-ts10-rt

echo "load -v -r -b 0x00218000 -m http -h $SERVERIP $IMAGE">$TTY
sleep 5
echo "exec -c \"console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=$TSIP
nfsroot=$SERVERIP:$ROOT\"">$TTY
---------------------------------------------------------------

Once you are happy with the results you may flash your working kernel.

Hope this helps,

Gonzalo
