Does your device use SDIO or SPI?

I have tried both and none of them have worked.

On the N900 the wl1271 chip is connected via SPI.

The chip is a wl1251, isn't it? wl1271 is n capable and n900 is not.

I think your problem is that the driver (in
drivers/net/wireless/wl1251/spi.c) and spi_board_info (in
arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-rx51-peripherals.c) names don't match
(wl1251 vs wl12xx). Probably easiest to edit .modalias in
board-rx51-peripherals.c and rebuild the kernel.


It seems getting closer ;)

After changing wl12xx for spi:wl1251 now modules are uploaded on startup.

However this is the output from lsmod | grep spi
spi                     4352  0
wl1251                 75840  1 spi
mac80211              256892  2 spi,wl1251
crc7                    1216  1 spi

As you can see spi module is not used :( and no interface is created. Still a way to go.
