Hello List,

my Netbook:
Packard Bell DOT M
Intel Z520 1.33G
1GB RAM
Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

arch 32-bit fully updated.

I'm using b43-firmware from AUR.

uname -a:
Linux laptop 3.14.2-1-ARCH #1  SMP PREEMPT Mon 14 April 21:01:08 CEST
2014 i686 GNU/Linux

With Kernel 3.13.8-1 and b43-firmware-5.100.130 all works very well.

After Upgrade my System with Kernel 3.14.1-1 with same package of
Firmware installed and a reboot, i got this message on every boot:

download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully
read all instructions on this website.


The files are propper installed under /usr/lib/firmware/b43/


What have i done:
reinstalled firmware b43-firmware-5.100.130 by using Kernel
3.14.1-1 and 3.14.2-1 - no success.

Updating to b43-firmware-6.30.163.46 using Kernel 3.14.1-1 and 3.14.2-1
- no success.

Downgrading to Kernel 3.13.8-1 both firmware versions works as expected.

Sorry for my bad english.

Regards
