Hi,
1. You need to configure eth0
2. Device does not exist until you enable it via fso-frameworkd
 (this will save power when not using wifi)
You can do the second step with dbus-send. I use the follwing script:
elektranox at freerunner ~ % cat /usr/local/bin/wifi
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# < 1 ]] ; then
 echo "0ドル <start|stop>"
 exit
fi
if [[ 1ドル == "start" ]] ; then
 dbus-send --system --dest=org.freesmartphone.odeviced --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerControl/WiFi org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerControl.SetPower int32:1
else
 dbus-send --system --dest=org.freesmartphone.odeviced --type=method_call --print-reply /org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerControl/WiFi org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerControl.SetPower int32:0
fi
elektranox at freerunner ~ % wifi start
method return sender=:1.9 -> dest=:1.31 reply_serial=2
elektranox at freerunner ~ % ifconfig eth0

elektranox at freerunner ~ % ifconfig eth0
