I have downloaded compat-wireless-2010-10-17.tar.bz2 and have compiled the code with no problem. I have seen the changes you've made creating modules wl1251, spi and sdio. I have run modprobe spi to upload the modules (also tried sdio) and no way. dmesg doesn't include any message. Below is the one after unloading the modules and uploading them again: rmmod spi wl1251 mac80211 cfg80211 compat_firmware_class modprobe spi >> wl1251: unloaded cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain >> Below is the output for lsmod. As you can see modules are up and running, but when I execute ifconfig -a no wlan0 device shows up.

Sorry but I'm somehow desesperate and don't know what to do. Actually I'm thinking on not using compat-wireless and nl80211 and get back to wireless-extensions. CU Jorge > Thanks for that.
