Last Resort

It means the firmware wasn’t loaded correctly. Did you follow the instructions correctly ? Did you unpack the files correctly ?

No, it was my bad. The correct command should have been

sudo b43-fwcutter -w /lib/firmware
/home/evetracy/broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o

An alternative would be

sudo cp -v b43/* /lib/firmware/.

You should see a line for each firmware file.

After you do one of the above, you won’t need to reboot. Just issue the following

sudo modprobe -rv b43
sudo modprobe -v b43
dmesg | grep b43

We should now see the message that the firmware has loaded.
