I used the opportunity that linux-source-2.6.15-8 had entered testing to
try another approach in compiling bcm43xx-source. This time I installed
linux-headers-2.6.15 together with ieee80211softmac-headers in
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15/.
Then I tried "make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --added_modules bcm43xx
modules-image" from my kernel-source-tree. This failed because
ieee80211softmac.h was not found. I saw that the variable
SOFTMAC_DIR=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15/include was given to the
make-command but I could not see where it would be evaluated.
