It should me. My 14e4:4328 is working fine, my model is just PHY type
4 rev 2 (not 1). However PHYs rev 1 were tested (14e4:4329) and should
be working fine.

What does happen after "ifconfig wlan0 up" (or equivalent call with
"ip ... link up" tool)? What does appear in dmesg?

MAC can not be so short. Please provide full output of "ip a".
