I have tried using even insmod and the modules load perfectly

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.
I have downloaded compat-wireless-2010-10-17.tar.bz2 and have compiled the
code with no problem. I have seen the changes you've made creating modules
wl1251, spi and sdio.
I have run modprobe spi to upload the modules (also tried sdio) and no way.
dmesg doesn't include any message. Below is the one after unloading the
modules and uploading them again:
rmmod spi wl1251 mac80211 cfg80211 compat_firmware_class
modprobe spi
wl1251: unloaded
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
Below is the output for lsmod. As you can see modules are up and running,
but when I execute ifconfig -a no wlan0 device shows up.
Nokia-N900:~# lsmod | grep spi
spi 4352 0
wl1251 75840 1 spi
mac80211 212984 2 spi,wl1251

Nokia-N900:~# lsmod | grep compat

mac80211 212984 2 spi,wl1251
cfg80211 148904 2 wl1251,mac80211
Any help on that? Sorry but I'm somehow desesperate and don't know what to
do. Actually I'm thinking on not using compat-wireless and nl80211 and get
back to wireless-extensions.
Does your device use SDIO or SPI?
Luis
I have tried both and none of them have worked.
