brcmsmac: 3.2.0-06100: no device shown (and hangs in 3.2.0-rc7)

[Nico Schottelius]

Hello,

with 3.2.0-06100-ge343a89 brcmsmac does not get autoloaded anymore
from udev. Loading it manually returns in dmesg:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[  247.495705] bcma: Core 0 found: ChipCommon (manuf 0x4BF, id 0x800,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And ip does not show any device:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[13:37] brief:~% ip l
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With 3.2.0-rc7 the device works, until it begins to hang. As reported
many times before.  As I've switched the environment, it is very good
probable that an AP on channel 13 is in range.

Attached both dmesg/lsmod/configs.

Cheers,

Nico

Could this be on your MacBook Air? If so, Linus has flagged and solved
this issue (see thread "brcm80211 breakage" on netdev mailer).

Oh, yes, indeed!

Although the channel 13 issue seems still to exist.

I'll apply his patches this evening and test as well.

Cheers,

Nico

Likely. I did not dive into that issue yet.
