I tried this briefly and abandoned it, because the android-2.6.32 kernel code base is
different from the run-time pm sdio patch set that's published on the wl1271 wiki site.

I managed to get the proprietary ti wilink 6.1.0.0 working with an arago-omappsp-03.00.00.05-kernel.

But for some reason, when compiling it against the android-2.6.32 (rowboat-eclair-2.6.32 kernel)
it gives some sdio related errors. I'm still working on it.

the wl1271 wlan driver in the android kernel didn't work, possibly for the same reason that the wilink-6.1.0.0
driver didn't work with the android kernel.

I mean, one would think that its already been made to work, i.e. rowboat-eclair-2.6.32 kernel + android-2.2 wl1271 driver
but that is so far from the truth.
