The driver is the wl1251 family.

Heh, nope. > I'm a bit suprised about this fact, but they know more than I. Or, we had not yet accommodated yet for the fact that the wl1251 driver was split out into its own directory from the original wl12xx/ directory and no one ever sent a patch to fix this on compat-wireless. I just fixed this on today's compat-wireless, so you can try that around noon PST time when the new tarball will be generated. Ah but there are some pcmcia crap compile issues, we just have to remove pcmcia support, well not now, I have other stuff to do. I welcome patches if someone gets to it.
