This should lead to system having firmware in /lib/firmware/b43/. Make
sure you have "some" files in this directory.

b43-open is for open firmware, which does not support LP-PHY. You've
to use original, closed source, ugly-licensed firmware (placed in
/lib/firmware/b43/).

Your distro doesn't allow non-free firmware. As I said, LP-PHY won't
work with open firmware. Refer to your's distro FAQ/forums/MLs to
learn how you can enable non-free firmware usage.
