Didn't try bluetooth.  Firmware loading and wifi used to work a while
back.  Well at least the driver initialized.  Connection was unstable
though, so I've switched to using ethernet instead.

When trying again on 4.9 I get the same firmware load error as Don.
Kernel with the downstream brcm patch cherry-picked still building atm.
