And here begins the problem...
Depending on your chipset revision, you may or may not be able to load the
4.x firmware. I have a bcm4306 revision 2 that will not. I have to use
the old driver. (And getting it to work is a pain in the ass under F7.)
I need to test the current version to see if the PCI ids are still mangled
for that chipset.
