Tried to compile the driver (as per comment #25) under 3.10.9 kernel. Results are as per comment #37, since the driver source uses create_proc_entry(), that was deprecated in favor of proc_create()
After reverting to kernel 3.9.5, the compilation was successful , with one warning: [ecat@localhost broadcom_driver]$ make KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/3.9.5-301.fc19.x86_64' CFG80211 API is prefered for this kernel version Using CFG80211 API CC [M] /home/ecat/Downloads/broadcom_driver/src/shared/linux_osl.o CC [M] /home/ecat/Downloads/broadcom_driver/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o CC [M] /home/ecat/Downloads/broadcom_driver/src/wl/sys/wl_iw.o CC [M] /home/ecat/Downloads/broadcom_driver/src/wl/sys/wl_cfg80211_hybrid.o LD [M] /home/ecat/Downloads/broadcom_driver/wl.o Building modules, stage 2.
