The current code checks for the special signature that signifies
a revision 4 SPROM. Now that a rev. 8 SPROM with a 440-byte length
has been found that may not have any special code, this check could
be relaxed. With this patch, if the CRC is incorrect for a 256-byte
SPROM,

Yeah, and then don't whitespace damage it and also add
this to sprom_extract_r4().
Of course, you can also move it to sprom_extract(), so it
will automatically be applied for any revision. I think that's
actually the better idea
Oops, sorry. I did the previos patch by directly copypasting & editing
Larry's patch, and apparently Gmail loves to whitespace-damage patches
if HTML mode is enabled. I re-diffed it this time, and disabled HTML
mode, so unless Gmail is having a *really* nasty day, it should be OK
now. If it is stil
The specifications call for the low 16 bits of the board flags to
be cleared if unset (== 0x). This step was taken in bcm43xx,
but was missed when ssb was coded. With this patch, Linksys WMP11
cards with a BCM4301 now work.

In the SSB SPROM a field set to all ones means the value
is not defined in the SPROM.
In case of the boardflags, we need to set them to zero
to avoid confusing drivers. Drivers will only check the
flags by ANDing.

In the http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 it is written that:
Access Point mode (not standard compliant and not without external patches)
Ad-Hoc (IBSS) mode (not standard compliant and not without external patches)
But no further information or patches.

Greets,
I'd originally downloaded ssb_sprom from the git link on the b43
page.
Initially the syntax / usage of ssb_sprom totally eluded me, so I went back and
searched the mailling list for clues.
It was there that I found a posting by Larry, being a patch for the README

Hello!
It looks like all tests with the experimental LO calibration code were
for bcm4306 and bcm4318. So I downgraded my Dell laptop from bcm4328
to bcm4311 (PCIe Mini Card), so that I can cover this gap and finally
switch to a free driver.
Everything seems to be OK. I'm using the curren
