Kernel will not load wifi driver

[Barry]

I'm building 2.6.32 for Motorola Droid running Froyo FRF85B. For some
reason when I flash my phone with the kernel image and tiwlan_drv.ko
and reboot, the phone locks up seconds after the UI appears.

I have looked at logcat output as it is booting and it is throwing
errors from wpa_supplicant, and finally says "Wifi driver reports
HUNG".

I build the tiwlan driver against my .32 kernel build - so I am not
sure what is going wrong. I've tried re-checking out everything fresh
from AOSP and building without modifying anything at all and even a
stock build will lock up my phone.

Any ideas?

Hi Barry,

Logs will help, especially kernel one...
Thanks,

No, it is not a kernel log. It is logcat log from the Android
framework.
Kernel log can be read as: cat /proc/kmsg

Ok, you took driver source from "old" place but your image has new
firmware that apparently didn't match.
Proper droid wifi driver place is:
hardware/ti/wlan/wl1271

BINGO. Thank you so much!

This has been driving me MAD!!!

So platform/system/wlan/ti.git is for the .29 kernel wifi ??

No, it is not correct to say that. It is not related to kernel
version.
Each TI (and actually not only TI) Wifi driver has corresponding FW.
You took new FW and you need to use new driver. Makes sense ?
