The suspend/resume changes for brcmfmac is work in progress at the moment  
as I was told by colleagues working on that driver. I assume the patch  
will be included in the chromium repo and also in the staging repo  
(git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git -  
staging-next branch).

For the staging repo you can keep an eye on the mailing list:  
http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/pipermail/devel/

Hi Arend Van Spriel/Henry

I am facing a problem with the wifi connectivity using BRCM4329 chipset.
The problem is, while browsing some time i lost the connect with the
AP, dmesg shows the below msges:

ERROR @wl_cfg80211_config_default_key : error (-22)
cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

I traced the code and find that this is happening when i hit the condition

if (wsec & WEP_ENABLED) {

and basically ioctl WLC_SET_KEY_PRIMARY is failed.

can you please give your though why this is happening(connection lost to AP)?
Is there is some problem with my AP setting?
Is there is any problem with the RF setting (basically nvram parameters)?
Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Alim
