Oh, I see.

Although it's unfortunate that I cannot test dadwifi and bcm43xx on the
same kernel.  It's quite bad, especially on the slow G3 PowerMac.

Perhaps I'll make a standalone build system just to deal with this
annoyance.

My "reference build system" can be downloaded by:
svn co https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/orinoco/trunk
(ironically, the driver itself is rotten)

Just take Makefile and Kbuild, replace the orinoco stuff with whatever
you need and remove unneeded checks.
