I have done the following and it works:
1) Replaced all modules with the ones provided by the ones on the link

ftp://ftp.embeddedarm.com/ts-arm-sbc/ts-7400-linux/binaries/ts-modules.
 Replace means substitute exiting files on the TS-7400 by the new ones.
2) I changed the file /etc/rc2.d/S20wpasupplicant including at the top
(first lines) the following (I´m running in level2):
insmod zdb.o
iwconfig wlan0 essid NetworkName // NetworkName is my wireless Netwoek
name
pump -i wlan0   // to allocate a dynamic IP received from DHCP server
(my wireless router)    
3) On the file etc/interfaces I comment the eth0 lines: The resulting
interface file looks like:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
#auto eth0
##iface eth0 inet dhcp
#iface eth0 inet static
#        address 192.168.1.137
#        network 192.168.1.0
#        netmask 255.255.255.0
#        broadcast 192.168.1.255
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.138
        network 192.168.1.0
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        broadcast 192.168.1.255

After that I initiated the TS-7400 and the wireless works fine !!!

Hope this helps others,...
