Broadcom issues with newer OpenWrt trunk

I've been trying to compile the new svn of OpenWrt and wireless seems to be a no-go for the WRT54GL. Then I ran across the following on the OpenWrt site:

Note: The brcm47xx still won't work for those of you needing broadcom wifi, stick to brcm-2.4. We will tell you when it does work.

After much testing and corresponding failures, I'm thinking this is not going to work in the near future, especially for using Kismet. So, I kept an older version of the svn in a separate directory and have backed that up for use with building Kismet. The total structure is around 2Gb, so it is rather large. Not sure where I can host that data yet, but if anyone wants an older version that will build for use with Kismet (this is the same directory that was used to build the images on this site), let me know and I'll try to find a place to put them.

Kismet-Newcore OpenWRT Cross-Compile (UPDATED Makefile)

The new version of kismet moves some lines out of the Makefile and into the Makefile.inc which causes the original instructions to fail. Here's the updated step:

#Edit Kismet Makefile.inc

cd ~/trunk/build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.1/kismet-2010-01-R1
vi Makefile.inc
