Hmmm. The testing that I'm doing at the moment with the BananaPi/Pro is using a 4.0.0-0.rc2.git1.2 kernel with F21 image. I grabbed the 4rc2 SRPM from the rawhide kernel nodebug repo, applied a few extra patches, (mostly concerned with adding sun4i-dma driver, pll2 clock and pre-requisites for mainline sunxi-codec support), which I have been using to test audio out of headphone jack on Cubietruck, BananaPi and BananaPro, with a F21 image...... SRPM is here.... http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/21/unstable/SRPMS/kernel-4.0.0-0.rc2.git1.2.1.fc21.src.rpm RPMS here.... http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/21/unstable/arm/ Back to Broadcom wi-fi and brcmfmac driver issues..... I didn't actually download the nvram file you specified, (but have diffed against mine and it's exactly the same), as I already had the firmware pre-packaged from f20, in a manner in which it could be used by both ap6210 driver (when running sunxi kernel) and also with a symlink "/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.txt" -> ../ap6210/nvram_ap6210.txt, so the fmac driver works when running mainline. (I had forgotten to install this on the BananaPro before I first posted about the brcmfmac driver not working. Since rectified.) http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/20/cubietruck/SRPMS/ap6210-firmware-1.0-1.fc20.src.rpm http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/20/cubietruck/armhfp/ap6210-firmware-1.0-1.fc20.noarch.rpm [fedora@bananapro brcm]$ rpm -ql ap6210-firmware /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210 /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/bcm20710a1.hcd /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/bd_addr.txt /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/fw_bcm40181a2.bin /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/fw_bcm40181a2_apsta.bin /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/fw_bcm40181a2_p2p.bin /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/nvram_ap6210.txt /usr/lib/firmware/brcm /usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.txt One thing that is perplexing me, is that although I'm using a sunxi kernel on my Cubietruck right now and ap6210 driver (which if I recall correctly is based on brcmhd, rather than brcmfmac), I'm sure I have had CubieTruck working with a 3.18 brcmfmac driver and didn't notice any wi-fi issues. I'll switch that back to a 3.18 kernel tomorrow (and also try the 4rc2) on the CT and see if I have any luck. PS. Have also verified that /lib/firmware/bcrm/brcmfmac43362-sdio.bin (from linux-firmware RPM package) and the /usr/lib/firmware/ap6210/fw_bcm40181a2.bin (from my ap6210-firmware RPM package) do not differ. So regardless of using brcmhd/ap6210 driver or brcmfmac, and loading differently named nvram.txt/fw.bin depending on driver, they are exactly the same nvram/firmware files, rather than different revisions. Anyway, it's no big deal. Have zero interest in the Bluetooth component, but would be nice if the wi-fi worked with mainline driver, but it's really no hardship to use a dongle. Whatever the problems with the brcmfmac driver and CT/BananaPro.... It must be specific to the Broadcom 40181 wi-fi chipset. I'm not seeing any issues with a RevB1 Wandboard (4329 chipset), or RevC1 Wandboard (4330 chipset) and brcmfmac driver.....
