That's what's in mine, I don't have the b43any more though

 ll /lib/firmware/b43/
total 20
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  158 Jan 27  2010 b0g0bsinitvals5.fw
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  976 Jan 27  2010 b0g0initvals5.fw
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 9528 Jan 27  2010 ucode5.fw

Broadcom just went open with their driver code maybe there's something
new on the net.  

B43 was always shakey for me, traded up to a newer mini-pci card and got
N capability in the process, haven't looked back.
