Yeah, there was some discussion about getting newer firmware. It's
unfortunately available only in huge firmware and Broadcom doesn't
give a sh* about providing open source community freely available
firmware. That's all about their openess and positive talks brcm80211
related.

For now you have to download huge firmware (and hacking extractor) or
try linking ucode16_mimo to ucode16.

We have some positive reports and not-so-much (coming for example from
Larry). Good to head there is one more person having this working.

Just for sure: can you try forcing rate to 1M, 2M or 11M? Does it
noticeably lowers amount of reported PHY errors? The command you need
to use is like:
iwconfig wlan0 rate 1M
iwconfig wlan0 rate 2M
iwconfig wlan0 rate 11M
