Well I finally sat down and tried my Wifi dongle (I originally bought for my RaspberryPi) on my Pandora...

And it detected it as an Ralink rt2800 based dongle but couldn't load the firmware.

I know the firmware is not provided in SuperZaxxon (or is a full flash needed?) but could it be (the FW files are very small.)

Is the firmware installable from our repository via opkg?

I did get my dingle working buy downloading the firmware deb from the debian repo and installing via opkg but it would be nice if this could be a little more friendly.
 
In the meantime, can you provide a step-by-step instructions?  Would this step-by-step instructions work for other types of Wifi dongle that don't support plug-and-play on the Pandora?  This would be helpful because the internal wifi gives a lot of people issue.  If they go out and buy the dongle and it's not plug-and-playable on Pandora this may help them? 
 
OK Turbo instructions!
