Ethernet addresses with the LSB of the first octet turned on are
considered multicast addresses. Please try:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:22:33:44:55:66

Sorry Elvis I gave you the wrong path :)
Its /lib/firmware in a regular linux. Its /etc/firmware in android.

I got the files from this git repo

You need to start udevd. The driver gets the firmware via udev.

Where should the firmware file be located? What name should I give the firmware file : firmware.bin ?
I get the following error after adding the following patch:

I tried that earlier, but got the same results.
# ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 11:22:33:44:55:66

Even trying to assign an IP address doesn't work.

Here's how my modified board-omap3beagle.c looks like, for the mainline wl1271 drivers. (The modifications for the board file and the board-wifi for the TI proprietary drivers are different, and that is a separate issue that I'm working on in parallel for android-2.6.32 kernel).

That worked, now the only thing is to put the firmware file in the appropriate place, I guess:
# ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:22:33:44:55:66
# ifconfig wlan0 up
[ 153.843597] wl1271: ERROR could not get firmware: -2
Where should the firmware file be located? /etc/firmware ?

The firmware file should be called wl1271-fw.bin and the nvs file
should be called wl1271-nvs.bin. Both should reside in /etc/firmware
(if you're running a standard linux).

Hi Elvis,
This because you havent set the mac address for wlan0
wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00
You can do by using the following command:
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 11:22:33:44:55:66
OR
add the following patch

I've built linux kernel 2.6.37-rc6, and patched board-omap3beagle.c to
interface with MMC2 SDIO controller,
but I'm unable to bring the wlan0 interface up.
Here are the messages during kernel boot:

What could the reason be?

:-) Ok, that's understandable!! My final aim is to get this working with android-2.2.1. Have you done a port of the android kernel to 2.6.37 already ?
