Hi, Larry That numbers do make more sense.

I thought all individual commits were ok, but I reordered some. It could be the srom code failing, which will likely become redundant as bcma can provide the info. > As b43 is also loaded, which may be a second problem, it is run instead of brcmsmac. With the submitted patches brcmsmac claims any revision of 802.11 cores. Not sure what b43 claims. I have a patch internally to claim only revisions 23 and 24, which are used in bcm43224, bcm43225, and bcm4313. Gr.
