Re: WL1271

["David Lynch Jr." <dhlii@dlasys.net>]

	I am essentially doing exactly the same thing as you are - but I am a
few days behind you. I noted a post of yours about 10 days ago in
linux-omap that you were having voltage/SDIO detection problems. I am
having exactly that problem at this moment.  
	How did you work arround it ?
	The WL1271 is attached to MMC2 on my system. All the examples in the
linux wireless tree are on SPI or MMC3. But I think I managed changing
things correctly - except that the error reports are mmc1:
	Also the comments suggest that the WL1271 has its own internal voltage
regulation. 
	That and a CY8CTMG-200 touch screen are the only major items I need
working to polish off this project.
