Sorry, Stefan

Should have seen this earlier, but here it is....

According to the revision mask your firmware seems to be for numerical 
revision 2 of this chip...

>> +	BRCMF_FW_ENTRY(BRCM_CC_43430_CHIP_ID, 0xFFFFFFF8, 43430B0),

and for the b0 the chip revision is 3 (or higher). So the alphanumeric 
revision of your chip would be 'a2' instead of 'c0'.
