I renamed the /lib/firmware to /lib/firmware.old and reboot my system.
After rebooting it, I was getting an error (pls see below) that the
kernel did not find the firmware.
wl1271: ERROR could not get nvs file: -2
wl1271: loaded
wl1271: initialized

Then, if I do "ifconfig -a", the wlan0 interface is showing up.
