A little bit more of information from dmesg with the full
debug flag in cx3110x:

[  274.247192] umac: module license 'Proprietary' taints kernel.
[ 1328.262176] sm_drv_spi_probe
[ 1328.262237] sm_drv_netdev_create

[ 1370.573455] cx3110x: WARNING SoftMAC not initialized, chip not booted (get oid 0x17000012)

The last message means that lp->sm_initialization = 0. Indeed,
sm_drv_spi_initialize is not reached. sm_drv_spi_wq which
calls sm_drv_spi_initialize, seems also never reached - so
no ifconfig! -:( I checked that INIT_WORK(&lp->work,sm_drv_spi_wq);
is reached inside sm_drv_spi_probe.

So why don't we get this first crucial interrupt?
Kalle? A little bit of help? ;-)
