Yes.

If you already have the kernel-power v47, you only need to install the osso-wlan_3.0.20+0m5-1_armel.deb and put the binary/compat-wireless folder to MyDocs for example. Then you just cd to that folder and run the unload.sh and load.sh files. I have made applet which makes the enabling and disabling quicker and easier.

If you look just a few posts back, I mentioned that I have the same issue - connecting to an ad-hoc network with this driver causes spontaneous shutdowns for me too.

I am having trouble getting the drivers to autostart.

I've made a file called power-kernel in /etc/event.d . For good measure, I did a chmod +x on it as well.

The contents are:

Code:
description "bleeding-drivers"

start on started hildon-desktop
stop on starting shutdown

console none

script
cd /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/
sh load.sh
end script
Any ideas on what could be going wrong? Needless to say, the command executes fine from sudo gainroot.

tarek : )

Does it need a root/sudo gainroot command at the start of the script.?

Id love to know how to get it to autostart too! tried one way and it broke my wifi...

Finally got the solution.

1. Modify load.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# Save mac address
MACADDR="`ifconfig wlan0 | sed -n 's/.*HWaddr \([0-9A-Fa-f:]\+\).*/\1/p'`"
# Unload wifi modules
rmmod wl1251_spi 2>/dev/null
rmmod wl1251 2>/dev/null
rmmod wl12xx 2>/dev/null
rmmod mac80211 2>/dev/null
rmmod cfg80211 2>/dev/null
rmmod rfkill_backport 2>/dev/null
rmmod compat_firmware_class 2>/dev/null
rmmod compat 2>/dev/null
# Load bleeding-edge wl1251
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/compat.ko
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/rfkill_backport.ko
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/cfg80211.ko
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/mac80211.ko
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/wl1251.ko
insmod /home/user/MyDocs/wl1251-maemo/binary/compat-wireless/wl1251_spi.ko
# Restore mac address
ifconfig wlan0 down hw ether "$MACADDR"
2. Copy load.sh to /usr/sbin
Code:
cp load.sh /usr/sbin

3. Change permissions to +x
Code:
chmod +x /usr/sbin/load.sh

4. Create proper event.d script

Code:
vi /etc/event.d/power-network
Code:
description "bleeding-drivers"

start on started hildon-desktop
stop on starting shutdown

console none

script
sleep 15
exec /usr/sbin/load.sh
end script

5. Reboot

Just have in mind that it use *much* more battery than stock ones - when connected to some AP and idle (battery usage on wifi load or disconnected is same).
