I have tried using even insmod and the modules load perfectly but the

Then that likely means you are not loading the right module.
In dmesg nothing is displayed except for the cfg80211 and when I rmmod
the
module wl1251 (wl1251: removed or similar)
I'm still wondering what the hell I have to do.
Are you sure you have the right module?
Yes. The driver is the wl1251 family. As I said in previous posts and from
what some guys in the IRC channel tried to guess, it seems that the problem
might be in that the spi interface is specific for any device, and in the
n900 might be different from the one implemented in compat-wireless.
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.
Thanks for that. Tomorrow at work I will try to test it out and get back
to you if something happens ;)
I welcome patches if someone gets to it.
I'm sorry but my knowdledge of the system is from a higher level of
abstraction. Otherwise I will be soooo please of helping you out.
Again. Thanks.
