This was only meant for the driver for mips architecture.

That would need to be redefined in wpa_supplicant if we are going to
support the new proprietary driver from Broadcom.

wl_wpa_header_t is no longer defined by the Broadcom driver.  This code
will need to be rewritten to conform to the new API.  The same applies
to most other error messages.

I'm not aware of it.

Yes, that's it.
