kernel modules fails to build. In the make.log it says it can't find
net/ieee80211.h

On Karmic generic kernel a file with that name is in /include/linux/
rather than include/net. Nevertheless, trying to copy that file in the
other place does NOT work (a lot of other errors then appears in the
make.log).

I've tried installing the latest package from Lucid ( 5.60.48.36+bdcom-
0ubuntu2 ) on Karmic to no avail as-is. BUT, I've found out that this
time the compilation fails because it can't find the file:

/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/5.60.48.36+bdcom/build/lib/wlc_hybrid.o_shipped

by stopping (Ctrl+z) "just in time" the build process and then adding a
link to the missing file from the existing one which ends in
"_shipped_x86_64", that is:

cd /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/5.60.48.36+bdcom/build/lib/
ln wlc_hybrid.o_shipped_x86_64 wlc_hybrid.o_shipped

eventually the build succeeds... and the driver works, too!

Please fix this bug in Karmic... that's very annoying and likely show-
stopping for almost everyone!
