Re: brcmfmac, BCM43241

Hi Jan-Oliver,

I think the problem is from the firmware since the 43241 used here is quite different from the one we published firmware for. We are preparing a new firmware and will release it soon.

Hi Franky,

Thank you for your response. I'll attach the full dmesg output. The
device is a Sony Vaio Duo 13 laptop (SVD1321C5E).

The dmesg part I posted in the first mail is (as far as I can tell) the
only part related to the built-in wireless adapter. I have another
wireless adapter attached via USB, which is responsible for earlier
output related to wireless stuff.

The dmesg entries about brcmfmac are triggered simply by `modprobe
brmcfmac`.

Best regards,
Jan-Oliver

P.S.:
I read somewhere that the wireless adapter and the touchscreen, which is
also not working, are both connected via an Intel GPIO Controller but I
can't seem to find the source. I don't know what that means or if it is
true. Maybe somebody here can make use of this information.

Hi Jan-Oliver,

Could you please send us the full log? Also please share more details
about the hardware platform you are using. We need to figure out how to
get the nvram file.

Regards,
Franky

Hi,

I am trying to get a BCM43241 card running on a 3.11-amd64 kernel.
[1] lists the device as supported but gives no instructions on how to
install it. I managed to extract the firmware from the git binary patch
contained in [2].

I copied the firmware to /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac-sdio.bin and copied
the content of /dev/nvram to /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac-sdio.txt.

Previously, `dmesg` would list error that indicated missing files.
Currently, the output is as follows:

[12865.299503] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_chip_drivestrengthinit: No SDIO

[12869.426308] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdbrcm_htclk: HT Avail timeout (1000000):

I have not been able to find anything to help with debugging this.

There was some discussion in response to [2] that I don't understand. Is
there something wrong with the firmware itself?

I would be very grateful for any help. I can provide all additional
information if something is missing from this report. (I can also be
reached via IRC, 'Eruquen' on freenode)

Thanks in advance,
Jan-Oliver
