Answer 1

there is a solution for" Patch for compilation problem   with kernel versions > 2.6.37"   fromhttp://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
but how to patch ,no idea.
# Patch for Broadcom 80211 (STA) driver 5.100.82.38
# Fixes the 'init_MUTEX' compile problem seen on newer (> 2.6.37) kernels.
# If you were able to compile, you don't need this patch.
# To apply:
# cd to the top level of the driver source. ('ls' should show at least src, lib, Makefile)
# patch -p0 < this_file
# make
