Some confusion over which 'b43' v5.10.x firmware I should be using

I'm the maintainer of the "b43-firmware" package for Arch Linux.  I'm
running v3.1.5 of the Linux kernel and I have v015 of the "b43-fwcutter"
package installed.  Should I use v5.10.56.27.3 or the newer v5.10.144.3 of
the 'b43' firmware with my BCM4311 device?

Your webpage states<http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Other_distributions_not_mentioned_above>that
I should still be using v5.10.56.27.3, but v5.10.144.3 seems to be a
more recent edition of that v5.10.x series.  Is that
explanation<http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Other_distributions_not_mentioned_above>still
current (i.e. I should stay with v5.10.56.27.3) or is it out-of-date
(i.e. I should upgrade to v5.10.144.3)?
