it's very strange for softmac to give compile errors. maybe it gives you warnings and then continue to compile, but these aren't great stuff. if it gives you errors then the kernel wouldn't be compiled at all... may i know what your pc is and what distro are you using and in which profile/version? it may a be of help to point you to right direction. the instruction for making the bcm work that i have given are pretty general and quite working for all distros, but sometimes there may happen to need something else to do.
