[debian-yeeloong-project] Getting Wifi to work in Wheezy

[Harry Prevor]

I'm a new but happy Debian Wheezy user on my Lemote Yeeloong:

$ uname -a
Linux janice 3.2.0-4-loongson-2f #1 Debian 3.2.41-2+deb7u2 mips64
GNU/Linux

I installed Debian and configured X through the guide at
<http://wiki.debian.org/DebianYeeloong/HowTo/Install>.

That being said, while both X and Debian work fine, I've been having
some trouble getting the Yeeloong's Wifi to work (currently sending
this via ethernet). While I can bring the interface up and connect to
my network:

# ip link set wlan0 up
(works)
# iwlist wlan0 scan | grep -i essid
(scanning works perfectly)
# iwconfig wlan0 essid $MYESSIDHERE
(works)
# dhclient -v wlan0

I've seen some old posts about doing this through kernel patches, but
considering I already have the loongson kernel I didn't think this
would be necessary.

Can anyone please shed some light on my issue, via either requests
for more information or solutions? 

Thanks a lot ahead of time for any responses.
