hi,
i am having 2.6.16-13 kernel .This kernel lack support for broadcom
wireless card.But the latest kernel is having support for this card.
I download the the kernel ,but i would like to compile this particular
driver only , not the entire kernel.
Is it possible???
I tried to execute the following command
make -C /usr/src/linux-2.6.16-13 SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
but got following error message ..
' No reason to target modules'
How can i compile the driver separately???

I don't think so. Bcm43xx needs the ieee80211 subsystem, which also
changed a lot between 2.6.16 and 2.6.18.

Not against that particular kernel.
