Beats the crap out of me -- I didn't write them.  Why are you fixated
on this one website?  Anyway, complain to whomever wrote it.

FWIW, that page seems to be describing the "bcm43xx" driver, while
you appear to be using the "bcm43xx-mac80211" driver.  I can't imagine
why the instructions might not match-up perfectly.
