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.
