Could you help with a little more details.  What I envision is adding an append statement of some kind to local.conf to load in the wireless related files to core-image-minimal, same with openjdk-7-jre and tomcat7, but my first efforts have generated some unintelligible error for me.  So that’s why I’m looking for direction on where to start with this.
