 Warning: Driver for device eth0 has been compiled with version 20 of Wireless Extension, while this program is using version 17.  The warning does not matter.

You have to do some wireless tools, 

 iwlist eth0 scanning # find available APs iwconfig eth0 ap auto essid "Your SSID" # connect to an AP  If your AP is protected, you need to add key to iwconfig, see `man iwconfig`

I updated the isp1362-hcd driver with bug fix from blackfin uclinux. 

It is ver 13. Please check it. Check with a usb thumb disk first, It may be helpful to enable debug messages for the zd1211 and isp1362 driver.
