You are using the firmware for G-PHYs. Yo should use v4.174 (also
known as v4.178) for LP-PHY.

Extract to /lib/firmware/b43. /lib/firmware/b43-open is only for OpenFWWF.

Compile compat-wireless to bypass the "free-only" patch in Fedora.
(John, are you still maintaining the Fedora kernel's wireless part? If
so, please kill this "freedom enforcement"!)

This isn't a Fedora kernel. I'm guessing it is from "Free-dora"
by way of BLAG, and I have no control over it -- sorry.
Cyrille, did you try b43-openfwwf? If that doesn't work, then you
will need to use extracted proprietary firmware with some other kernel
(e.g. stock Fedora) or you will have to live without b43.

OpenFWWF definitely won't work with LP-PHYs. We don't even know enough
about LP-PHY to fix the DMA error, let alone to write our own
firmware...

Yes I'm using a BLAG 119K with a free-dora kernel.

Well, the firmware is pretty much independent of the PHY that is used
(except for some workarounds and some minor stuff).
The firmware does only depend on the wireless MAC core revision.
What 80211 core rev do LP PHY devices typically have?
