no wifi - 4 stars ... RTL8188 module and small usb hub with usual suspects
adding some WiFi over USB to the pocketbeagle I got at MFNY17 :)

call this on a mac in your browser http://beaglebone.local/ - if you get the beagle page, it works! (connecting over usb that is)
ssh debian@beaglebone.local
with password temppwd (you should change that)
sudo iwlist wlan0 scan | grep ESSID
shows you stuff if
sudo iwconfig
shows you stuff if
lsusb
shows you stuff

My wifi and usb hub for the pocketbeagle kinda works now. Little mistake to fix with a bodge wire. @oshpark boards work fine :) I can scan wifi ssids but have trouble with setting up the connection.

Seems like there aren't any capacitors needed for the crystal, although it seems unusual coming from every other chip I've used that needed a crystal. I've added 10pF like in #(One More) Raspberry Pi Zero USB Hub but doubt they're necessary.
Only one extra USB port has a plug, out of size restrictions etc. - a second one has the RTL8188 directly connected. Therefore only one LED is really necessary for the "connected" status.
Added a PRTR5V0U2X as ESD protection for the "external" USB port.
