I've a MacBook Air 6.2 with a Broadcom BCM4360 802.11ac adapter

I imagine there is no point in playing around with extracting the
firmware from the drivers on Yosemite or Mavericks using b43-fwcutter,
right?

Thanks,

p.s.  I've already tried using the proprietary wl driver, but it crashes
lots on WPA2 and maybe WPA networks.  I mentioned the error messages
here :
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/209280/broadcom-wireless-driver-source-vs-dkms

If the wiki says that it is unsupported, then that is correct. That list is kept up to date.

Firmware is not your problem. It is the basic drivers not supporting that new hardware. Using b43-fwcutter will do no good.

I'm sure that you are aware that only Broadcom can debug the proprietary driver.

I have added the wireless mailing list to get additional exposure.
