It seems that you have to power on the WiFi card first.
You might find this in the settings or try the following python script

def getDbusObject (bus, busname , objectpath , interface):
         dbusObject = bus.get_object(busname, objectpath)
         return dbus.Interface(dbusObject, dbus_interface=interface)

dbusObj = getDbusObject (dbus.SystemBus(),
                     "org.freesmartphone.odeviced",
                     "/org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerControl/WiFi",
                     "org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerControl")

dbusObj.SetPower( True );
