have attached it for you is there perhaps an updated file that will
work, or would you be able to help us and create a new or provide a
current NVRAM File?
Also the firmware that is provided for us is dated july 17th
2013 is
there an updated linux firmware that we can use for this device
that
perhaps would have an updated NVRAM file to go with it?
I have attached the firmware that is provided for us as well for
your
reference
I am sure you are a busy person and we in the linux community
would love
to be rid of windows and enjoy the linux experience, could you,
would
you lend us your aid?
Hi Brian,
Sure I can try to be somewhat helpful. I am currently on vacation
and rain is pouring down in buckets.
The nvram that is in EFI should be the perfect fit for the device.
Maybe you can provide some more background info. Are you using stock
ubuntu kernel. What kernel version is running? Can you boot the
kernel with 'debug ignore_loglevel' parameters, load the brcmfmac
driver with 'debug=0xd416', and send me the full kernel log.
Regards,
Arend
