It seems that you were right, my SPROM is busted:
ssb: WARNING: Using fallback SPROM failed (err -2)
ssb: WARNING: Invalid SPROM CRC (corrupt SPROM)
ssb: Unsupported SPROM revision 0 detected. Will extract v1

I also dumped /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:0c:00.0/ssb_sprom
and it's just zeroes (as in 0x30, not nulls).

Larry, I CC-ed you because I noticed in an earlier message on the lwn
mailing list that you own (or used to own) the exact model of BCM4321
as the one I have now:

0c:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4321
802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4328] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n
Wireless LAN Controller [103c:1367]

Can anybody with a BCM4321 send me a full SPROM dump from their card
(preferably a HP BCM4321, but I guess any would do)? I want to hack
something up and try fix my card.

Thanks in advance,
Octavian
