I've got wifi support on Android ICS on the pandaboard using the binaries mentioned below:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/panda-ics-gcc46-tilt-tracking-blob/

They also have instructions to build from source on the same site above.

In general, you can see what features (ie: WiFi) are supported on which Linaro Android releases for PandaBoard by looking at the matrix available here: https://docs.google.com/a/linaro.org/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkxwyUNxNaAadGVWd3pZazdaRUU0MnRnWmgwbVhTR0E#gid=5

Wifi drivers are built into the Android ICS code tree (i.e., source.android.com). However, wifi-direct functionality is not supported or publically available at this time.

It should available in the android source tree for the AOSP project at : Firmware is in device/ti/panda/wl12xx folder
