This seems to be standard HT PHY:
#define B43_PHYTYPE_HT			0x07
So your b43 must be compiled without support for HT.

Here we can see you compile b43 from compat-wireless with HT-PHY
support. So there must be something wrong with the way you install
compat-wireless.

I can give you some hints:
1) find -name "b43.ko" /lib/modules
2) modinfo b43
3) modinfo b43 | grep filename

But I don't know what exactly are you doing wrong.
