Are you Serious? Jason? can you confirm with TI's wifi team? I'm about to jump on an airplane to Europe, but i'll throw a bbgw into my luggage and test this when i land tomorrow. If this works with all our wl1835 productions units, i'll pre-patch the firmware at image create time and rip out all the "eeprom/mac" hacks that waste boot time..
