archlinux kernel 3.14.1-1 Broadcom BCM4312 firmware-file not found

Hello List,

my Netbook:
Packard Bell DOT M
Intel Z520 1.33G
1GB RAM
Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)

arch 32-bit fully updated.

uname -a:
Linux laptop 3.14.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon 14 April 21:01:08 CEST 2014 i686 GNU/Linux

With Kernel 3.13.8-1 and b43-firmware-5.100.130 all works very well.

After Upgrade my System with Kernel 3.14.1-1 with same package of Firmware installed and a reboot, i got this message on every boot:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#devicefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version. Please carefully read all instructions on this website.

The files are propper installed under /usr/lib/firmware/b43/

What have i done:
rebuild and reinstalled firmware b43-firmware-5.100.130 by using Kernel 3.14.1-1 - no success.

Updating to b43-firmware-6.30.163.46 using Kernel 3.14.1-1 - no success.

Downgrading to Kernel 3.13.8-1 both firmware versions works as expected.

Sorry for my bad english.

Regards

Could this be a matter of path? Maybe your newer kernel expects files in /lib/firmware/b43/ (without /usr)?
