OK. So I download a 2.6.15.1 from kernel.org disbale Generic
IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack and try to compile softmac-snapshot
but I'v got error that I dont have IEEE 802.11 compiled into
kernel. So I enbale it compile softmac with this warnning:
*** Warning: "wireless_send_event" [/home/data/src/softmac-snapshot/net/ieee80211/softmac/ieee80211softmac.ko] undefined!
then:
export SOFTMAC_DIR=/home/data/src/softmac-snapshot
and compile the bcm43xx driver
with this warnnings:

and finaly when I try to modprobe the bcm4300 I'v got this
error:
[milan@krachsna]-[1]-[/home/data/src/bcm43xx/driver] sudo
