If you haven't done so already, suggest you start by going through the following wiki page: http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx This should give you an idea of where to get the latest code, how to compile it to your kernel (using compat-wireless) and links to the relevant patches needed. This will get you started with WLAN. > > If you can help me AT ALL to get me up to speed/ to start, what i need to do to connect > the wl1271 to the imx233....if not imx233..that whatever you have........ The wiki page does include some basic information needed in order to port to different hardware platforms.
