Well, it shows tx looks ok, but with download there is not much of that
going on. At least no large packets. However, I did find some missing
pieces related to bt-coex. Given that you device is a wifi-bt combo card
that is likely an issue for you. One of the missing pieces looks in
sprom for parameters and that is provided by bcma. However, it does not
seem to extract bt-coex related stuff. So I have attached a patch based
on 3.18-rc5 for bcma that dumps the sprom contents. Could you sent that
content to me.

Arend
