I try to maintain the broadcom_sta expression and the mutex-sema patch has IMO been resolved in some previous version of the driver. I also added two patches yesterday from Gentoo that also solve compiling problems for this new version on two other kernel versions. Hydra seems to build everything OK now. Note that all the patches just solve compile-time issues because of rapidly changing kernel API - the driver is developed outside...
