I've thought about it; the driver version is probably the one that's
visible and easily found; the included firmware version not so much.
Also b43-fwcutter and everyone else is using using the driver
versions, so suddenly switching to the firmware versions will probably
just unnecessarily confuse people.

I'll rename the config symbols and work the firmware version into the
description/help text, so that it contains both without (hopefully)
causing too much confusion.

okay, will change that to B43_FW_410

You are right. I wonder where that came from. Let's keep it as a
"legacy" name to not confuse people (else I'll bet we'll get several
tickets because of a "missing" or "wrong" version ;-).

Also B43_FW_478.

And finally B43_FW_508.

Thanks for your comments!
