Seems like your email(s) end up in my spam folder. I tend to chuck away 
that folder without a glance, but today I did have a peek. Sorry for 
missing previous attempts.

In bugzilla I see you are running the latest firmware, ie. 7.35.177.61. 
The problem back then was that firmware was lacking functionality to 
read the srom on the device. We fixed that with the firmware update. So 
not sure what might be the issue this time. Also checked the debug 
output file, but it seems to be missing details during probe. So if 
possible please do:

$ insmod brcmfmac debug=0xd416
