Roy, Nick,

Thanks for your time and effort testing this.

My initial thought is that compat_firmware_class might be causing the 
issue. I assume if you try to unload it (modprobe -r 
compat_firmware_class, it unloads the too??

If either of you had working wireless _before _ the 6.3 kernel update, 
could you possibly roll back to the previous working version 
kmod-compat-wireless and kernel, and show the above output again from a 
working system (e.g, lsmod | grep 'b43\|firmware')

Many thanks.

Phil
