Comment (by Christian Mauderer):

 == Possible Approach

 The way freebsd handles hot-plug events in general or network device
 events in special should be analyzed. If possible, a similar method
 should be implemented in rtems-libbsd.

 == Necessary Hardware

 Some board which is supported in rtems-libbsd and has a (supported) USB
 host connection and a (supported) USB-WiFi interface is necessary. A known
 working board is the Beagle Bone Black with a RTL8188 USB dongle. Some
 kind of hardware debugger (Segger J-Link, Flyswatter 2, something
 supported by OpenOCD, ...) is strongly recommended.

 == Related projects

 #3223 will need some WiFi related rc.conf integration too and maybe
 depends on some of the functionality here (creating interfaces).
