Unfortunately, new firmware would not prevent the need to fix up the
code with regards to QoS being disabled via the kernel parameter or
using OpenFW. That said, new firmware could help us drop the fifth patch
in this series. I am thinking about using b43-fwcutter to extract
proprietary fw from a newer release of broadcom-wl to see if that makes
a difference. That said, I am a bit puzzled since the device I am
testing on released in early 2011, and I used firmware released in late
2012.

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get the parameters for fwcutter from an x86 binary. Some of the other architectures are easier.
