Hello,
I am building a static kernel. I have gotten the DVB card working
by adding
the .fw to linux/firmware and so I am doing the same thing with the
4312.
The kernel builds fine, the 4312 is found and seems fine.
dmesg reports the card, lspci shows it and so does ifconfig -a.
ip link set dev wlan0 up pretty much hangs and none of the iw*
commands
work.
The problem may be that at the request_firmware stage there is a
mismatch
between what I've compiled into the kernel and what
request_firmware is
requesting.
I have ucode5.fw, b0g0bsinit and b0g0init in linux/firmware and
added those to .config
If anyone knows how to narrow this down it would be great.

What mismatch?
I've noticed some delay when starting interface on LP-PHY card, didn't
debug this yet.
Did you try b43 as module? Did it work?

What exactly do you mean by 4312? If you mean a PCI ID of 14e4:4312, then the
firmware above is partially correct. The ucode5.fw is correct, but you also need
b0g0initvals5.fw and b0g0initvals5.fw. In addition, you might need
a0g1initvals5.fw or a0g1initvals5. I no longer have one of those devices, thus I
cannot test.
If you mean BCM4312 802.11b/g, then your firmware selection is wrong. This type
of device will have a PCI ID of 14e4:4315 and will require different firmware.
For these LP-PHY devices, b0g0initvals13.fw, lp0initvals13.fw, and ucode13.fw
are probably needed.
