Subject: brcmsmac: 3.2.0-06100: no device shown (and hangs in 3.2.0-rc7)

Hello,

with 3.2.0-06100-ge343a89 brcmsmac does not get autoloaded anymore
from udev. Loading it manually returns in dmesg:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And ip does not show any device:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[13:37] brief:~% ip l
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With 3.2.0-rc7 the device works, until it begins to hang. As reported
many times before.  As I've switched the environment, it is very good
probable that an AP on channel 13 is in range.

Attached both dmesg/lsmod/configs.

Cheers,

Nico
