Okay, so this is my OCD coming through, but I would really like to find a kernel reliably initializes the Broadcom 4329/4330 chips on the Wandboards and reboots cleanly. I have built and tested quite a few kernels, either cross-compiled according instructions here, https://eewiki.net/display/linuxonarm/Wandboard#Wandboard-LinuxKernel, or natively compiled using Arch's elegant PKGBUILD / makepkg mechanism e.g., from https://github.com/CrawX/PKGBUILDs/tree/wblinux3.14/core/linux-wandboard. In short, nothing I've tried has been fully reliable: either WLAN needs a cold boot, or with the more recent kernels (3.18 or higher) WLAN comes on about 50% of warm boots for me. I've given up this fool's errand for now :(, but plan to keep on using 3.14.14-1 from CrawX's PKGBUILD until something better comes along. Robert Nelson has told me that "dt-bindings for brcmfmac is still in the bike-shed painting phase," which I take to mean the people are still arguing about how this should be done rather than actually doing it. If someone happens to have more insight on this issue, I'd appreciate hearing about it.:)
