Correct. And there is no support for TCP/IP einther, nor do  we  have
X11  or  Gnome,  and  there is neither Eclipse nor Firefox available,
not even OpenOffice or iSCSI support.

To make the story short: U-Boot  is  a  boot  loader,  and  a  pretty
powerful one, but there are certain tasks where it makes sense to use
an OS.

Don't waste your time. Use U-Boot to boot asmall configuration of
Linux with WLAN support included, and use this to do whjat you want to
do.
