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.:)
