The driver is b43. What fwcutter gets is firmware. AFAIK, the firmware for your
device that you are using is the same as that of driver 4.150.10.5.3. There is a
difference in the firmware for LP and N PHY devices, but as they are not yet
supported, it doesn't matter.
We are aware of those errors, but don't know why they occur, or how to fix them.
Sorry.
Larry
