Hi Brian,
Sure I can try to be somewhat helpful. I am currently on vacation and
rain is pouring down in buckets.
The nvram that is in EFI should be the perfect fit for the device. Maybe
you can provide some more background info. Are you using stock ubuntu
kernel. What kernel version is running? Can you boot the kernel with
'debug ignore_loglevel' parameters, load the brcmfmac driver with
'debug=0xd416', and send me the full kernel log.
Regards,
Arend
