Hi Bernd,

The hint to solve this is found on wireless.kernel.org [1] and the
answer is as Samuel suspects. This file is very board specific so
OEMs manufacturing/selling the board should provide it either upon
request or through some distribution like a SDK.
There are several Win8 2-in-1 devices that do run the SDIO Full MAC
chipsets and obviously there is no SDK for those. Which means no distro
will ever be able to run out of the box on those.
I may be completely off the mark here, but isn't there a sensible
template for those guys ? Nothing optimised, but just something that
would at least make things work...

Also, the hint for pre 3.13 kernel is to copy the .bin into a .txt. Is
that still the case for post 3.13 ?

Cheers,
Samuel.

No, thats wrong. You need a special board-specific *.txt file and rename it for kernels > 3.12 to brcmfmacxxxx-sdio.txt.
