Most likely a patch targeted at 2.6.25 or 2.6.26 accidentally slipped

Fedora's 2.6.24.3 kernel.

No accident -- the wireless bits in Fedora kernels are quite a bit
ahead of their nominal base version.  Generally, they are synced with
the upstream wireless trees.

OK. But then I'm back to my original question: why all those

Apr  1 11:03:56 notebook kernel: b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error
Apr  1 11:04:03 notebook kernel: printk: 26 messages suppressed.

in /var/log/messages?

Or if we're supposed to use the old 4.80.53 firmware, why the deprecated message?

The upstream list probably won't respond: they obviously think only a portion of the new driver was included - not the whole thing.
