Sorry for getting back to you after so long. I was looking at some other 
issues with bcm4313 and there was a reference to a message you posted on 
LKML. So I searched my email archive for your name.

I noticed in some log you sent that your regulatory domain is set to GB, 
which makes sense. I submitted a patch [1] last week so could you try 
that and let me know the results.
