Maybe. Maybe not. At oleast both talk about "PHY transmission error"s.

Because b43-fwcutter does per definiton get the right version, see the
Homepage: and install_bcm43xx_firmware.sh..

Id you would get those reports often without any ground, ans even unneeded
RC bugs - you would react like this, too.

Normally, b43-fwcutter would not even get the firmware. This is just
for convenience. I also could have just packaged b43-fwcutter and just
left all people with the burden to go to the homepage, read the instructions
and do it manually). Maybe I should have done that...

No. I do have for non-obvious things, but this is a obvious thing that
b43-fwcutter is not to blame for driver stuff when it gets the correct
firmware. (At least according to the Homepage)
