Another one:
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/SPROM
Revision 4 SPROM
0x005C
bits 7-0: 802.11B/G Antennas Available
bits 15-8: 802.11A Antenas Available
[my comments]
7-0 means 0xFF
15-8 means 0xFF00
bcmsrom_fmt.h:
#define SROM4_AA2G_MASK 0x00ff
#define SROM4_AA5G_MASK 0xff00
However ssb seems to implement that masks switched:
#define SSB_SPROM4_ANTAVAIL_A 0x00FF /* A-PHY bitfield */
#define SSB_SPROM4_ANTAVAIL_BG 0xFF00 /* B-PHY and G-PHY bitfield */
(agaik A==5GHz; G==2GHz)
It seems that for both cases specs are fine.
