Sorry for breaking your device!

So it sounds like you do not have country_codes configured for your
BCM4359/9 device, while it needs particular `rev` setup for the ccode
you are testing with.  It was "working" likely because you have a static
`ccode` and `regrev` setting in nvram file.  But roaming to a different
region will mostly get you a broken WiFi support.  Is it possible to set
up the country_codes for your device to get it work properly?
