Hi Joe,
could you elaborate a little bit on your failure scenario?
In bug report you say it happens after suspend/resume, are there any other scenarios you see this
behaviour? (like disassociation/association without suspend)
Also you mention it comes back after some time - what is the time needed?
We had reports of problems on 4313 with this patch (that's why the revert was done) but so far i
assumed it was a total breakdown, in your case this seem like a transient issue.
One more thing, could you provide info about your hardware by sending me contents of:
<debugfs_mount>/brcmsmac/bcma0:0/hardware
Kind regards
Piotr
