Hi Jörg,

I looked at the 43362 firmware, ie. using hexdump -C, and it contains 
the string BRCM_TEST_SSID. I already mentioned that being suspicious. So 
it may be a firmware issue. I recently bought a Cubietruck device, which 
has a 43362 module integrated, so I will try to replicate this.

Regards,
Arend
