It could be that is an issue. The brcmsmac supports other devices, ie. bcm43224/5 and the bcm4313 comes in a number of varieties. From what you tell here it seems you have trouble in rx path so I will look into that area if there is any specifically done for your variant of the bcm4313. Regards, Arend > Thanks, > > /mjt
