on the recent release of the 2.6.32 series kernel in the slackware-current branch, currently 2.6.32.3, it has posed a bit of a minor frustration on this Dell mini 9″ and its broadcom 4312

vbatts@mini:~$ lspci | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

appearantly in the kernel headers, the definition of schedule() has moved around a little. Using the drivers downloaded from here (currently version 5.10.91.9.3), if you are getting an error like

vbatts@current:~/bcm1$ make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.3'
  LD      /home/vbatts/bcm1/built-in.o
  CC [M]  /home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o
/home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c: In function 'wl_free':
/home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c:705: error: implicit declaration of function 'schedule'
make[2]: *** [/home/vbatts/bcm1/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/vbatts/bcm1] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.32.3'
make: *** [all] Error 2

then the following patch will just add include the needed headers to move you along in compiling your wl.ko module

cat ../hybrid_sta-2.3.32.patch | patch -p1

at which point you should be gravy to proceed as usual.

vbatts@current:~/bcm2$ make
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

and do not forget to `unset ARCH` before compiling

Take care,
