The "Unknown symbol in module" I got when trying to compile bcmwl with
the headers from linux-headers-2.6.37-11-generic instead of the linux-
headers-2.6.37-12-generic that would have matched my kernel. Another
time I got this message was when after installing a new kernel I tried
to compile the module for the new one --- and the Makefile compiled it
for the old one, instead. Seems like the tracking which kernel to
compile the module for is somehow critical. Don't know if that can help
you; The missing MODULE_LICENSE does AFAIK just indicate that the module
does claim not to be GPL (which is a choice made by the creator: It
hinders the module from being debugged and thus from being reverse-
engineered) but does not tell which license it conforms to, instead. So
this message should be therefore just a administrative matter.
