While using kernel 2.6.33 the module-assistant fails to build. The problem can 
be solved by changing line 23 in 
/usr/src/modules/broadcom-sta/amd64/src/include/linuxver.h from ..<linux/.. to 
..<generated/.. . Because the file is replaced every time you start m-a, it is 
to be corrected in the file /usr/src/broadcom-sta.tar.bz2.

I thought the update from 5.10.91.9.3-3 => 5.60.48.36-1 would solve the 
problem, but it does not. A second Problem occurs (build error), which can be 
solved only by deleting the tar-file und the complete directory it is unpacked 
in, and reinstall broadcom-sta-source (updating only seems not be enough). Is 
it possible to include this work in the installation-routine? Would be more 
comfortable to all normal users :-)
