firmware loading fails for b43 using linux 3.4?

Hi,

I'm probably missing something obvious, but when going from 3.3 to 3.4 the b43 driver throws up an error, saying it can't find the firmware - but it really _is_ there.


Here's the error:

b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode16_mimo.fw" not found
b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode16_mimo.fw" not found
b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.


Here's the firmware it claims doesn't exist:

$ sha1sum /lib/firmware/b43/ucode16_mimo.fw
825a4bc63e3a96bb20fd8551add947435d47ad46  /lib/firmware/b43/ucode16_mimo.fw

This is from Debian's firmware-b43-installer package, version 1:015-14.


The network card in question:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)


The only obvious change is 6b6fa5868eec26bdc6a83543cebb8cf832a2645a by Larry Finger. I don't know if it matters, but b43 is statically compiled in the kernel.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
