I am essentially doing exactly the same thing as you are - but I am a few days behind you. I noted a post of yours about 10 days ago in linux-omap that you were having voltage/SDIO detection problems. I am having exactly that problem at this moment. How did you work arround it ? The WL1271 is attached to MMC2 on my system. All the examples in the linux wireless tree are on SPI or MMC3. But I think I managed changing things correctly - except that the error reports are mmc1: Also the comments suggest that the WL1271 has its own internal voltage regulation. That and a CY8CTMG-200 touch screen are the only major items I need working to polish off this project.
