Issues installing proprietary wl driver on debian
When installing a proprietary driver for the broadcom wi-fi module (broadcom-sta, wl driver) on debian, it produces this:
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.12-amd64'
CFG80211 API is prefered for this kernel version

create_proc_entry was dropped in 3.9, suggesting to use create_proc_read_entry(), proc_create() and proc_create_data().
As for the rest of the errors, it is not clear. Where can I look at the code for this wl_linux.c?
