Nice. What kernel version are you running on. Can you also dump a
debugfs file, ie. /sys/kernel/debug/brcmfmac/*/revinfo. I want to know
what chip id and revision is reported. I have tried an AE1200 in the
past, but it had a chip revision that had insufficient memory to run
fullmac firmware. Is there FCC registration number on it?
