Arend,
I have just started testing brcmsmac with my BCM43224 card. I find it rather
unstable. A typical cycle between authentication and disassociating is as follows:
[ 1066.227729] wlan8: authenticate with 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1
[ 1066.238397] wlan8: send auth to 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 (try 1/3)
[ 1066.440128] wlan8: send auth to 00:1a:70:46:ba:b1 (try 2/3)
[ 1066.443739] wlan8: authenticated

The period of time that the interface is up ranges from 10 - 200 seconds. The
connection is WPA-TKIP and the kernel is master-2012-02-15-510-g20b79b4 from
wireless-testing with local patches applied to other drivers. Both brcmsmac and
bcma are untouched.
Thanks,
Larry
Hi Larry,
Thanks. There have been a couple of other people indicating a similar
issue. We run tests nightly on bcm43224 equipped systems and brcmsmac
mostly runs fine apart from occasional mac80211 interfacing issue, which
is one reason to run these tests. I will dig deeper into this.
