eCos does not have wifi support in general. It would be better to sort
that out on a target that's easier to port to, than starting with the
(brand new) Cortex-M port.

The first step in doing that would probably be updating the BSD network 
stack to a newer version - the current eCos network stack port is too old, 
and then adding on the various parts for the wifi support.

Note that it is something we (eCosCentric) have looked at and while 
clearly valuable it's a big enough job that it's not likely to happen 
until someone is willing to at least part fund it - a few man months work.
