Thanks Nick, that worked well for me and I now have (partially) working
WiFi.

I say partially because it appears that with heavy use of the WiFi I very
quickly get hard lockups - no tty, no ssh, no response to anything at all, a
complete lock. If I disconnect the WiFi I can operate for quite a long time
(well, battery capacity permitting anyway). I do have a z3736f chip, not a
z3735f so whether that makes a difference or not I'm not sure.

I'm not sure if it is the driver or something else I still need to do some
more troubleshooting on it - although I'm not really sure on how to best
troubleshoot a hard lockup....
