Actually i am using the this version already - bcm96368MVWG_fs_kernel_HG612V100R001C01B028SP10_no-btagent which gives me a log showing firmware A2pv6C035m.d22g
I did try the experimental firmware that you linked to over the weekend but i found my errors shot up and there was an increase in signal attenuation and no increase in sync.
Here are the logs from using the experimental firmware
