AFAIK wireless interfaces are not yet supported by NetworkOptions.

As temporary solution, you could use a script such as the one below to 
activate WiFi:
#!/bin/sh
iwconfig rausb0 essid "***" mode Managed
iwpriv rausb0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv rausb0 set EncrypType=TKIP
iwpriv rausb0 set WPAPSK="*********"
dhcpcd rausb0

And launch this scripts in the /S/S/BootScripts/BootUp file.
