It seems that you have to power on the WiFi card first.
You might find this in the settings or try the following python script 
which works for me under SHR.

#!/usr/bin/python
import elementary, os, dbus

def getDbusObject (bus, busname , objectpath , interface):
 dbusObject = bus.get_object(busname, objectpath)
 return dbus.Interface(dbusObject, dbus_interface=interface)

dbusObj = getDbusObject (dbus.SystemBus(),
 org.freesmartphone.odeviced,
 /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerControl/WiFi,
 org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerControl)

dbusObj.SetPower( True );

Distro independent way:
if ar6000 is a module, load it; if it's compiled in, do

echo s3c2440-sdi  /sys/bus/platform/drivers/s3c2440-sdi/bind

to bind relevant drivers.

FSO-specific way:
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy WiFi enabled
