Dear Sir,

The nvram file is board specific and so Asus should be able to provide that. What OS does Asus provide on this eee book? The firmware file will be submitted to linux-firmware soon, but in the mean time you can also find it in Android repository [1]. Just rename the file fw_43341.bin to brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin.

Arend

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/broadcom/wlan/+/master/bcmdhd/firmware/bcm43341/Thank you for the link, the Asus eebook x205ta comes with Windows 8.1, no idea how I'm going to get Asus to deliver that nvram, but at least I'm halfway there now, the firmware loads correctly.
For Windows 8.1 the nvram file is stored in EFI variable space. This is accessible in Linux as well. If I recall correctly it should be in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars. There should be a file named nvram-*. Copy that to /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt.

Arend

Okay.... Kind of wish I knew that a few hours ago before I formatted the thing :)
I'll see if I can either reinstall Windows on it (somehow) or find someone with the same machine, I'm getting close to get pretty much everything running
If I can get the file, should I send it to you?
With kind regards,

You don't need to run windows for that, the nvram (calibration data, probably the MAC address and related device specific data) is stored in your mainboard's firmware - and exposed to userspace (under linux) via /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/. You just need to identify the correct file and copy it to a place where linux expects to find it (/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.txt).

Dear Arend,
would be nice, if you could make it clear.
I am in the exact some position (asus x205 with linux 4.0 rc3) but my /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ is empty. I am running debian jessie with a kernel taken from ubuntu. Am I missing something? Even loading efivars via modprobe doesnt change a thing.

Maybe you need to mount it. This is what I found [1]:
$ sudo mount -t efivarfs none /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

Thanks, that worked. Now I have firmware and nvram-file and the driver seems to load ok. At least I have an interface wlan0.
However, I am not able to connect.Network-manager just says "interface is being set up ..." forever. I have no idea howto debug this. In the other post you said that the nl80211 driver should be used instead of wext. I found that nl80211 is the default for network-manager. So, whats going wrong here?
Could you provide output of these:
$ iw dev $ iw list $ ifconfig -a

to load ok. At least I have an interface wlan0.
However, I am not able to connect.Network-manager just says "interface is being set up ..." forever. I have no idea howto debug this. In the other post you said that the nl80211 driver should be used instead of wext. I found that nl80211 is the default for network-manager. So, whats going

Something is still wrong with the driver/device. Here, even though a scan has already been done and the SSID found (otherwise NM wouldn't have started a connection in the first place) the supplicant is doing another scan (10s) and then attempting to associate, which takes 10s before NM kills the attempt.
So ignoring the scan issues (eg, why is another 10s scan requires when the SSID is already in the supplicant's network list) it still has association problems.
NetworkManager allows up to 20s for an auth/assoc since that really, really should be enough. If it's not enough, then something is seriously wrong with the hardware or the wifi network.
Next steps:
What does 'dmesg' say here? Anything about association tries?
After that we try getting supplicant debug logs and figuring out what's going on from its point of view.

to load ok. At least I have an interface wlan0.
However, I am not able to connect.Network-manager just says "interface is being set up ..." forever. I have no idea howto debug this. In the other post you said that the nl80211 driver should be used instead of wext. I found that nl80211 is the default for network-manager. So, whats going

Could you provide more NetworkManager logs? They should look like this; where do your logs stop?

(reason -3)
Something is still wrong with the driver/device. Here, even though a scan has already been done and the SSID found (otherwise NM wouldn't have started a connection in the first place) the supplicant is doing another scan (10s) and then attempting to associate, which takes 10s before NM kills the attempt.
So ignoring the scan issues (eg, why is another 10s scan requires when the SSID is already in the supplicant's network list) it still has association problems.
NetworkManager allows up to 20s for an auth/assoc since that really, really should be enough. If it's not enough, then something is seriously wrong with the hardware or the wifi network.

Next steps:
What does 'dmesg' say here? Anything about association tries?
After that we try getting supplicant debug logs and figuring out what's going on from its point of view.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for checking the network manager log.
Jurgen,
Do you have brcmfmac driver built with CONFIG_BRCMDBG. If so you can enable debug output by:
sudo sh -c 'echo 0xd416 > /sys/module/brcmfmac/parameters/debug'

Arend

CONFIG_BRCM_TRACING is another way to get debug output, but I guess that is not enabled either.

CONFIG_BRCM_TRACINGis another way to get debug output, but I guess that is not enabled either.
Just found this via google to enable wlan:
1. the nvram file under /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ has a wrong MAC address. I changed it to the correct one. However, I am not sure if this is really necassary.
2. Found the following on the web:
Quoted 4 lines
rmmod brcmfmac
rmmod brcmutil
echo on > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/sdhci-acpi/INT33BB\:00/power/control modprobe brcmfmac
After this, I can connect to wlan!
Does this give you enough information to find out, what the problem is? Or do you still need DBG output from the driver? if so, just tell me and I will try to compile and install the kernel with DBG turnded on. Its not a big deal but I stopped working on it as I found this workaround.
At the momment I am trying to put these commands to rc,local. With limited success until now, But this may be caused by the fact, that they are executed too early. Will add some sleep.
Another thing I found out is, that the system sometimes comes up without wlan0. It seems I have it only on every second boot. However, this could be just by incident and it is not exactly every second boot but about 50 % of all boots.

That MAC address is only used for device that do have mac address in the device so you can ignore that one.

Ah, I was wondering what type of sdio host controller was used. When sdio host controller uses runtime-pm it affect communication with wlan device. I recently posted a patch for that [1].

Might be the driver is already loaded before root file system is loaded (from initramfs).

Is that after reboot or really after powerup. Curious whether there is a difference between the two regarding this issue.

1. the nvram file under
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/has a wrong MAC address. I changed it to the correct one. However, I am not sure if this is really necassary.That MAC address is only used for device that do have mac address in the device so you can ignore that one.
You are right, found it out mayself in the meantime. There is no need to change the MAC address.

Ah, I was wondering what type of sdio host controller was used. When sdio host controller uses runtime-pm it affect communication with wlan device. I recently posted a patch for that [1].
So, do I understand correctly, that with your patch the above workaround will no longer be needed? In which kernel will your patch be included? As wifi is working now, I would avoid installing the patch and instead wait for the next kernel.
Indeed. The patch basically does the same thing as the workaround. It is applied to wireless-drivers-next tree so it will be in 4.1 kernel. So it will take a while before that gets released by Linus. 4.1-rc1 will probably take approx. 6-7 wks.

Does this give you enough information to find out, what the problem is? Or do you still need DBG output from the driver? if so, just tell me and I will try to compile and install the kernel with DBG turnded on. Its not a big deal but I stopped working on it as I found this workaround.
At the momment I am trying to put these commands to rc,local. With limited success until now, But this may be caused by the fact, that they are executed too early. Will add some sleep.

Might be the driver is already loaded before root file system is loaded (from initramfs).
I now got it working. Just put 'sleeep 20' before the commands and now it works perfectly.
Holding the boot for 20s is steep, but I guess a working device trumps a fast boot ;-)

Another thing I found out is, that the system sometimes comes up without wlan0. It seems I have it only on every second boot. However, this could be just by incident and it is not exactly every second boot but about 50 % of all boots.

Is that after reboot or really after powerup. Curious whether there is a difference between the two regarding this issue.
It was after reboot and at cold boot.
However, this problem seems to be gone. wlan0 is up on every boot. In the meantime i upgraded to rc4. Could this be the reason?
Nothing in brcmfmac is changed that would explain this. Maybe something was fixed in sdio host controller, but it is all speculation.

Do you still need some dbg information from my machine? If so, just tell me and I will install a kernel with the needed options. Otherwise, I will stay with the current situation.
If you are happy and the issue seems resolved there is no need. Thanks.

Ok, thanks. Will the driver also enable bluetooth? As I read, the bcm43341 also has Bluetooth capabilities.
It has, but no clue what host interface is used. Anyway, it will have a separate driver.
Do you now, if there is some development going on for the bluetooth driver? Who could I conact?
I am not sure what host-interface is used to bt part. Is it usb or uart? I know there are plans to mainline the bt uart driver, but not sure when that will make its way into the kernel. If it is usb you should be able to use btusb driver, but you need firmware. They added support for handling firmware in btusb recently.

Arend

Systemd runs even rc.local in parallel. So it doesn't hold the boot process.

would be nice, if you could make it clear.
I am in the exact some position (asus x205 with linux 4.0 rc3) but my
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars/is empty. I am running debian jessie with a kernel taken from ubuntu. Am I missing something? Even loading efivars via modprobe doesnt change a thing.
You need to have efivarfs mounted, which Debian/jessie and systemd should do by default (it certainly does, at least when booted in UEFI mode - you probably won't have access to it in BIOS CSM mode):
$ grep efivarfs /proc/mounts efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars efivarfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime 0 0
If it isn't for some weird reason, you'll have to mount it by hand.
# mount -t efivarfs -o rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime efivarfs /sys/firmware/efi/efivars

Hi,
Finally I got some progress thanks to your comment, I can now see the Wifi
networks on my Asus X205TA (kernel 4.0RC3). However, connecting to any
network seems still to be an issue:
