BCM43XX Firmware in F7T3

I've recently started having trouble with my Broadcom BCM43XX series
WiFi card on F7T3. I have historically used bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract
the firmware from my laptop's Windows drivers.

My laptop is a Dell D610 and I'm using the firmware that is included
with the latest available version of Windows drivers supplied by Dell
for this laptop.

I've extracted the firmware to /lib/firmware as usual, but now I get the
following errors at startup:

kernel: bcm43xx: Microcode rev 0x173, pl 0x425 (2006-10-04  21:02:04)
kernel: bcm43xx: Firmware: no support for microcode extracted from
version 4.x binary drivers.
kernel: bcm43xx: core_up for active 802.11 core failed (-95)

I should also note that I continue to use the latest available rawhide
updates. This used to work with F7T2 and earlier. What has changed?

Cheers,

Chris
