wpa_supplicant 0.6.6 Compiling the Broadcom backend errors.

[Thorben J]

Hi,

I'm trying to build wpa_supplicant with the broadcom wl.ko driver.
I am using the 64bit kernel module from here
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
(version 5.10.27.14 1/21/2009)

In my config I have:
CONFIG_DRIVER_BROADCOM=y
CFLAGS += -I/home/thorbenj/Build/broadcom/src/include

This gives the following build error:
cc -Wall -g -O2 -MMD -I../src -I../src/crypto -I../src/utils

Is there a patch for this?
I found this bug report which looks like the same bug
http://hostap.epitest.fi/bugz/show_bug.cgi?id=282

I note it lacked a link to the Broadcom driver download (above) which
might help with reproducing this error.
