Luciano might be able to confirm this. If this is the case, you may want to verify that /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin exists. If it does not, you simply need to install the firmware by whatever means your distribution provides (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu's `linux-firmware` package). Otherwise, you can try compiling as a module. You can do this by either editing `.config` or using the `make menuconfig` command. There are numerous guides describing this to be found online. The relevant confirmation symbol is `CONFIG_WL12XX`, if I recall correctly. Cheers, - Ben
