that is great. Ok, do you have the kernel sources on your system ? If 
so, cd to the root of the source tree and issue these commands to build 
the driver:

make SUBDIRS=drivers/staging/brcm80211 clean
make SUBDIRS=drivers/staging/brcm80211 modules

if that works, do a 'modprobe mac80211' followed by a 'insmod 
drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmutil/brcmutil.ko' followed by a 'insmod 
drivers/staging/brcm80211/brcmsmac/brcmsmac.ko'.

Btw, I will assume until further notice that you disable network-manager 
prior to loading the driver.

Let me know how this goes, then we can take it to the next level.

Thanks, Roland.
