Does the SDHCI driver recognize the device? You should see something
like this in 'dmesg':
[78504.888006] sdhci-pci 0000:44:06.1: Will use DMA mode even though HW
doesn't fully claim to support it.
[78536.520725] mmc0: new SDIO card at address 0001
[78536.540309] libertas_sdio: Libertas SDIO driver
[78536.540313] libertas_sdio: Copyright Pierre Ossman
If you don't see "mmc0: new SDIO card..." somewhere, then the wl1271
driver isn't even involved and you need to find out why the SD/MMC layer
can't even see the card.
Once you've got it to the point of the SD/MMC stack finding the driver,
find out the VID/PID of the card (it'll be somewhere
in /sys/bus/sdio/devices/), and make sure that matches what's in the
wl1271 SDIO driver (VID 0x0097 PID 0x4076). If your device doesn't
match that, add it to wlcore/sdio.c's wl1271_devices array.
