The latest versions of mac80211 are better at recovering from loss of contact with the AP. You would get the latest with compat-wireless.
As to getting firmware from bcmwl5.sys, I doubt that it would make a difference. >From what I know, the ucode5 and XXinitvals5 files have not changed. Is your device getting hotter than it used to? That might explain the loss of signal strength with time. You could test this by strategic placement of a fan.
