Ok, will try.

BTW: I just managed ~30 minutes ago to start the WL183x module on the
Pyra mainboard. There, I had to locate a newer firmware version but then
it did load and I was able to scan for networks. Same kernel code as for
GTA04.

It could also be something else. E.g. the firmware file on my µSD could simply
be corrupted...
