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

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 -v b43
dmesg | grep b43
