I suspect the bug that brought about the need for wl1271 to be a module
is probably fixed by now (assuming your kernel is newer than
3.5). Luciano might be able to confirm this.
If this is the case, you may want to verify that
/lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin exists. If it does not, you
simply need to install the firmware by whatever means your distribution
provides (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu's `linux-firmware` package).
Otherwise, you can try compiling as a module. You can do this by either
editing `.config` or using the `make menuconfig` command. There are
numerous guides describing this to be found online. The relevant
confirmation symbol is `CONFIG_WL12XX`, if I recall correctly.
Cheers,
- Ben
