Hi Michael,
Thanks for your encouraging suggestions. I revisited the threads you
referred to. In the boardflags it shows you have a bt+wifi card. It
could be that is an issue. The brcmsmac supports other devices, ie.
bcm43224/5 and the bcm4313 comes in a number of varieties. From what you
tell here it seems you have trouble in rx path so I will look into that
area if there is any specifically done for your variant of the bcm4313.
Regards,
Arend
