My fault. The driver expects the firmware files in b43 directory. The
correct command is (I have verified on my ibook :-D )
'sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware/b43 wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o' (Replace .o
filename appropriately).
In case you get error 'directory does not exist then do 'sudo mkdir
/lib/firmware/b43' and then run above command.
