I'm having some issues getting my [newly designed] board to run
with wl12xx (wl1271 on SDIO) My kernel is 2.6.37 and I'm using
a compat-wireless snapshot from 2012-02-28
Here's what I see when I boot - looks OK:
Compat-wireless backport release: compat-wireless-2012-02-28
Backport based on linux-next.git next-20120228
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
wl12xx: loaded
If I bring up the wlan0 interface manually, I can talk to the
device, scan for access points, etc. All looks good.
The problem comes when I try to negotiate for an address with
WPA security.
# ifup wlan0
wl12xx: firmware booted (Rev 6.3.5.0.98)
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready
udhcpc (v1.19.3) started
Sending discover...
wl12xx: down
Sending discover...
Sending discover...
No lease, failing
A few seconds later, everything falls apart. Sorry for the verbosity, but
the messages changed at the end and I wanted to make sure you saw it all.
Any ideas what causes this problem & how I can solve it?
Note: I'm using the very latest TI firmware

Even more info - I enabled all the debug flags in the wl12xx driver and
captured this sequence (it's 100% repeatable with my current configuration)
The log is at http://www.mlbassoc.com/misc/messages.wl12xx
Any ideas what's going on?

Even more confusion - I've found that I need to be careful with the
sequence and timing of bringing up the wl12xx.
* This sequence will always fail:
-- [re]boot Linux
# ifup wlan0
* This sequence also fails:
-- [re]boot Linux
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# ifup wlan0
* This sequence seems to always work:
-- [re]boot Linux
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# iw wlan0 scan
# ifup wlan0
What could be special about this [slight] change in bring-up behaviour/timing?
Sadly, even when it works, it dies if I try to run
# ifdown wlan0
# ifup wlan0
Interestingly, I've seen this work perfectly on my OMAP4430 PandaBoard. We based
our design on that board, so it's a bit puzzling why we are having so much trouble.
Any ideas?

Any ideas about this [thread] of issues?
