To be sincere, I'm not sure. The user of that thread is also logging
the same message although he seems to have loaded the proper firmware
file.
This is what he reports:
***
[ 3281.316383] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 9, Type 7, Revision 1)
[ 3281.316391] b43: probe of bcma0:0 failed with error -95
[ 3281.316417] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMNLS, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]

The problem is that your only chance to get your wifi card running is by
means of the b43 driver from kernel >3.2, at least for now because no
other broadcom drivers seems to have support for it ;-(
