Using SDIO WiFi modules

[semihhazar]

Hi,

I'm trying find a resource about using SDIO Wi-Fi modules in Linux, either with the mainline kernel or Freescale's old (2.6.35 I believe) kernel.

Is there an example for a board configuration? When I look at other platforms (such as OMAP2) I can see that mmc devices are configured in board files with the driver name (such as wl12xx). But I couldn't figure out how the wireless driver would hook up with the MMC controller in imx28.

Thanks in advance,

Semih

Well here's how it works if somebody is also puzzled like me:

You don't need something special in the DTS or board config file to hook a certain SDIO device with a driver. Once the MMC system is up it does a scan on the bus and creates a device with the correct id and then kernel tries to match this device with an appropriate driver.

Hi Semih

please look at ConnectCard W-i.MX28 module (Includes Wi-Fi® Access Point mode + Wi-Fi Direct)
