Hi all,

I've been having issues with making BCM43602 work and figured a sequence which 
makes it working and working well - meaning it connects to both 2.4GHz & 5GHz 
networks and is working at its full speed without any issue.

Here is what helped me to make BCM43602 work again on my MacBookPro14,3 
(mid-2017).

1. start dom0 with ``qubes.skip_autostart``.

2. start ``sys-net`` in the following sequence:

```
qvm-start sys-net
sleep 3
sudo xl pci-attach sys-net '03:00.0,permissive=1'
qvm-run -p sys-net "sudo cp ~/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt 
/usr/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt"
qvm-run -p sys-net "echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan"
```

Enjoy your WiFi!

The ``brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt`` file you can get here 
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=193121#c52 - see an "attachment 
285753" from Simon Siebert on ``2019-11-02 16:41:15 UTC``

Make sure to set ``macaddr=00:90:4c:0d:f4:3e`` in that file! It's the default 
mac address which is coming from the firmware.

Kind regards,

P.S.
I've also noticed that if I remove brcmfmac kernel driver from the sys-net 
(domU), and modprobe it back again => the card will never work again.
I've tried resetting the PCI bus, removing the card, etc.. only reboot helps.
