is only this on libertas patch in the range you mention:

    Firmware V4 on CF8381 reports region code shifted by 1 byte to left.
    The following patch checks for this and handles it properly.

    Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@...driver.com>

If you revert that, does your problem disappear?
