Hmm, doing that, and loading this as a module instead of compiling it into the

Is there a reason for this not working when being compiled into the kernel? Is
it possible that I need to change the order of  some of the units
being initialized
in my machine-description / init?\

Usually we compile it as module instead of built-in. But I just tried it with built-in and it can intialize and scan. Some issue did happen during joining an AP. So I would suggest use module for your development for now.


Ok, so I get the device listed as a wlan0-device, and I see the driver
being able to communicate
with the chip, sort of (it can read registers at least), but then I
start seeing errors like this (from
the previously attached log):

It's possible that the firmware carshed. Are you using the firmware/nvram from Linux repository? You should use the nvram that fits your platform.
