problem with b43

[Cyrille]

Hi
I've got a problem with a broadcom 4312 [12e4:4315].
The environment :
===========================
uname -a
2.6.35.5-libre.29.fc14.x86_64 

lspci -vnn
0b:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1395 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000b]
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
	Memory at fe7fc000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3
	Capabilities: [58] Vendor Specific Information: Len=78 <?>

	Capabilities: [16c] Power Budgeting <?>
	Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge
	Kernel modules: ssb
===============================

Installation method ( http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#fw-b43-lp ) :
You are using the b43 driver from linux-2.6.25 or newer
export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-013/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o


Seems work : ls /lib/firmware/b43-open/
a0g0bsinitvals5.fw   a0g1bsinitvals9.fw   b0g0bsinitvals9.fw  lp0bsinitvals15.fw  n0initvals11.fw  ucode5.fw
a0g0bsinitvals9.fw   a0g1initvals13.fw    b0g0initvals13.fw   lp0initvals13.fw    pcm5.fw          ucode9.fw
a0g0initvals5.fw     a0g1initvals5.fw     b0g0initvals5.fw    lp0initvals14.fw    ucode11.fw
a0g0initvals9.fw     a0g1initvals9.fw     b0g0initvals9.fw    lp0initvals15.fw    ucode13.fw
a0g1bsinitvals13.fw  b0g0bsinitvals13.fw  lp0bsinitvals13.fw  n0absinitvals11.fw  ucode14.fw
a0g1bsinitvals5.fw   b0g0bsinitvals5.fw   lp0bsinitvals14.fw  n0bsinitvals11.fw   ucode15.fw


But : 
dmesg
b43-phy3 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.
b43-phy4: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)

So don't work.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I thought nevertheless that with this kernel that was going to work.
No idea, I thing is due of the model [12e4:4315]. Is there anyone who can say to me if it possible to install and configure this card with a free-kernel.

Thanx !

Cyrille
