Here is v2 of Bob's wl1251 sdio patches. I have now rebased them on
top of wl1251/wl1271 split patches. Only compile-tested because I
don't have working test setup right now (neither spi or sdio), but I
should have access to one in two weeks.
I forgot to mention that wl1251 most probably is still broken regards to
bssid handling. I will fix this after my (current) vacation, unless
someone else is faster. To get wl1251 temporarily working, this patch
must be reverted:
Wow! This is just what I needed to know. I have been struggling the
whole of last week trying to figure out why the wl1271 driver that I'm
planning to submit doesn't work with the latest wireless-testing. I've
been using the wl1251 from wireless-testing as a reference and I was
running out of ideas as to why wl1251 was working and my version of the
wl1271 wasn't. So, it's very good to know that wl1251 isn't working
either :)
This is the only thing that is currently preventing me from submitting
the wl1271 code. Obviously I want to make sure that it works before
sending it for inclusion in wireless-testing...

mac80211: fix managed mode BSSID handling
Currently, we will ask the driver to configure right away
when somebody changes the desired BSSID. That's totally
strange because then we will configure the driver without
even knowing whether the BSS exists. Change this to only
configure the BSSID when associated, and configure a zero
BSSID when not associated.
Oddly enough I can't find this patch anymore in wireless-testing, I
could only find a revert. I don't know what happened to it.
The original patch *is* there, but it has been reverted. In any case, I
noticed that the change introduced by this patch is there, so I guess
some other patch has replaced it later.
Now I need to read the archives of the linux-wireless mailing list to
figure out exactly what has changed and what I need to do to get wl1271
to work with the new API. Or is anyone willing to give me a brief
summary of what the driver is expected to do with the new API? (yeah,
it's a sunny Sunday and I'm a bit lazy today :P)
