Description GroovieMan 2018-08-26 20:05:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
WLAN adapter for my cheap ezbook2 notebook does not work. A look into the journalctl showd me that the file brcmfmac43430a0-sdio.txt is missing, the brcmfmac43430a0-sdio. bin was there, the txt not.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
linux-firmware 20180815

How reproducible:
restart and get no wlan

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:
I found this page https://github.com/armbian/firmware/tree/master/brcm to get the missing txt file an copied it into /usr/lib/firmware/brcm. Then i called

$ modprobe  brcmfmac

and the wifi/wlan worked !!!

Expected results:
Working wlan

We now ship a brcm/brcmfmac43430a0-sdio.jumper-ezpad-mini3.txt and the driver supports loading device specific NVRAM files now so please test

Got these firmware updates some minutes agon.
Problem is not solved. The wifi still does not work until i perform a 
modeprobe brcmfmac
Comment 10 Peter Robinson 2019-02-20 00:31:09 UTC 
Can you provide the contents of "dmesg | grep -i brcm"
Comment 11 GroovieMan 2019-02-20 07:21:04 UTC 
Of course, after update and reboot:

$ dmesg | grep -i brcm
(nothing)

Then ..
$ modprobe  brcmfmac
$ dmesg | grep -i brcm

Right so it's a different device to what we have upstream based on the "TrekStor-SurfBook W2" bit
