I need to use a recent kernel on my laptop, because older versions doesn't seem to support other hardware peripherals.

I try to maintain the broadcom_sta expression and the mutex-sema patch 
has IMO been resolved in some previous version of the driver. I also 
added two patches yesterday from Gentoo that also solve compiling 
problems for this new version on two other kernel versions. Hydra seems 
to build everything OK now.

Note that all the patches just solve compile-time issues because of 
rapidly changing kernel API - the driver is developed outside...
