I get that now with f7 and 2.6.21 and didn't with fc6 2.6.20.

However, I read that the error is not what it sounds like.  What is
the solution?

The error is _EXACTLY_ what it sounds like. With fc6, you were using bcm43xx-softmac, which uses V3 firmware. With fc7, you switched to bcm43xx-mac80211, which needs V4 firmware - just what the error message said. The solution is to download a V4 driver and create the appropriate firmware.
