Normally that should have been enough, but in order to support the SDIO interface of the wl1271 we had to change a few stuff in the kernel (mainly add runtime PM support into the SDIO subsystem). Those changes were merged into 2.6.37, so users of older kernels have to backport them manually. Here's the list of items you need: * SDIO runtime PM (11 patches) * The "lenient pm callbacks" patch (a really small and trivial patch) * "wl12xx: add platform data passing support" (that one is not mentioned in the wiki yet for some reason, here's its link: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg34839.html) But if you're using 2.6.31 you may need other stuff too.. E.g. I'm not sure that SDIO suspend/resume even made it to 2.6.31 at all... > is there any high level documentation as to how wl1271 fits into linux/android? Hmm.. the wiki ? :) Regards, Ohad. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
