My fault: I've forgot to update bcm43xx-fwcutter to version 006.
You can upgrade to 006 either manually[1] or modifying our SlackBuild,
however I discourage you to do so and use wlapsta.o instead.
Mainly because newer version of fwcutter (008 and future) will only
extract firmware from  that file (and because fwcutter will extract more
files from wlapsta.o than AppleAirport2.kext).
