Firmware? Maybe you're right, I googled and found some info that the old broadcom driver didn't support channels 12 and 13 for some reason with certain hardware. However, it appears b43 is the "old" driver, and the new one which should support those channels and setting regulatory domain is the Broadcom STA driver, which is in portage for ~x86 and ~amd64 (net-wireless/broadcom-sta). Try to emerge it, blacklist your old b43 driver and hope it works. :) Here's the Broadcom STA docs: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt (I don't have a broadcom card so this is all guessing, hope it helps!)
