I even resorted to plugging in 2 external wifi dongles, neither one of which i ever made work. but at least i found rtwn drivers in /boot/kernel. i know the wifi function is woven into the bluetooth controller, but I saw no fathomable (by me) connection to a driver. 


If you have one, a wired-to-wireless Ethernet bridge (Buffalo Airstation
or equivalent) might be worth a try. It's not cost-effective to  buy one, 
but mine worked surprisingly easily with a default snapshot image.
