I have to check with the firmware guys here what is needed for 4718. I tried to load the firmware b43 uses (extracted from wl) in version 666.2 and my bcm43224 device is working with that firmware like with the firmware supposed for brcmsmac (bcm43xx-0.fw). after loading the b43 firmware my bcm4718 does not show the "wl1: wlc_coreinit: ucode did not self-suspend!" line any more, but still "wlc_coreinit: txfifo mismatch: ucode size 111 driver size 28518 index 5" and crashes the device after that with a Data bus error. I am able to connect to a 5GHz AP in client mode with my bcm43224 connected to the bcm4718 via PCIe with both firmware versions, but I am just getting 30.3 Mbits/sec as the maximum speed.
