Even with the right firmware available, I'm not sure things have
progressed from earlier in the year, where the issues with the brcmfmac
driver "stopping" on BPi/Cubietruck, with AP6210 hardware, needed
resolution.

ISTR, some discussion on the sunxi mailing list about this again
recently where they were talking about error recovery on the sdio/mmc
side of things.... Not sure any of this made it upstream to the kernel
yet. 

Hans would probably be able to say what should be working now. ;)

NB. I had both a Cubietruck and BananaPro running F22. Both of those I
ended up disabling the onboard Broadcom wifi and stuck a dongle in a
USB port due to the issues with the brcmfmac driver. Unless Hans can
say that the issues are now resolved, I think this is very much a case
of "suck it and see". ;)
