Dmesg contains no relevant information except DMA RX timeout and another timeout waiting for bitmask 01800000 on register 0F90 to clear. The logs then show that the driver was loaded with a feature called PNLS, qnd it loaded version 784.2.

The list b43-dev used to be a good place to ask questions like this, but 
[email protected] is better now. I have sent this reply to that list.

I understand that devuan is Debian without systemd. As modern wireless is highly 
dependent on systemd, are you sure that everything is setup correctly?

The output about 783.2 implies that the firmware was loaded, but those error 
messages are of concern.

Please run the command 'lspci -nn' and post the output. That will tell us what 
device you actually have,

You say that dmesg has no relevant information, but I would like to see for 
myself. Please run the command 'dmesg > dmesg.txt', post dmesg.txt to some site 
like https://pastebin.com/, and post the link to the file in the next E-mail here.
