sorry to keep sending you logs, but this one is complete from
deactivating to reactivating with the debug, want to make sure you have
all the info you need

let me know if you need anything else

Please keep replying to all (including Cc:).

Did you disable runtime-pm for the mmc host controller with bcm43241 device. From your log I see the driver tells the firmware to join "BRAINNET 1" but wpa_supplicant times out after 10 seconds. I suspect the host controller went in runtime suspend so the connect events from the firmware are not processed until wpa_supplicant gives up and host initiates interaction with the device.

The controller should be somewhere under /sys/bus/acpi/drivers/sdhci-acpi/. If you have the correct controller there is a power subfolder. Check the control file:

$ cat control

If it says auto, change it to 'on':

echo 'on' > control

When done, load brcmfmac.

Regards,
Arend
thanks for your help

    Hello again

    i realized i did not have the debug features enabled for the brcm
    devices so i compiled a new kernel, this is version 3.17.rc2 and
    here is the log output i could get from the modprobe brcmfmac
    'debug=0xd416'

        Hello Sir

        I am writing this request to ask for your aid, we have been
        tryng to get
        ubuntu 14.10 to run on an ASUS T100TA tablet and we are having
        wifi issues

        I am appealing to you and to ask for your help as i have been
        trying for
        weeks to get this wifi working stable, i have been trying to
        modify the
        NVRAM file to get a stable connection so we can have decent working
        internet on this tablet to enjoy the Linux experience. right now
        currently we can download in the range of 600 bytes/sec to maybe
        10kb/sec

        We are unable to connect with the current NVRAM file provided
        from the
        NVRAM file unless we put our current MAC address for our wifi
        card in
        the brcmfmac43241b4-sdio.txt

        and once we do that we are able to connect but we get frequent
        disconnects and very very slow download rates...

        I have pulled the NVRAM from the efivars in sys/firmware/efivars and
        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
