Waited until kernel-3.15.3 to see a fix to the issue with b43 module using current firmware which was not working. Workaround was to use firmware 4.17, but a patch is available and have built kernel-3.15.3 with patch and confirm that b43 is working. Please include so I do not have to manually patch. Linked to patch from wireless.kernel.org. Patch provided below. At the least this may help others to resolve issue.
