Thanks for reporting this.

Hmm, works fine here:
   [123347.487365] wl1251: loaded
   [123347.488098] wl1251: initialized

So this means in fact that WiFi does not work at all for you?

If this is a hardware bug it is out of scope for this bugtracker. In that case,
please either Contact Nokia Care services via www.nokia.com or the company who
sold the product to them.

Same problem in here, but it is software or hardware. I expect hardware bug as
flashing whole system did not help.

Will contact support in next week to get this solved.

Don't know about Jari, but my phone was returned to Nokia and fixed. Don't know
what they did to it, but it works now. So I think it's a HW bug.

Thanks for the feedback. Closing as INVALID as it seems that this was not a
software bug (and as maeom.org Bugzilla is a software bugtracker)...
