Broadcom wifi driver

[trader5050]

I'm trying to "make" the broadcom wireless drivers from this page:

http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php

Unfortunately, it will not work. I've tried just about everything that I can think of, being a relative newb to Linux (google helps). I'm getting an error when attempting to compile:

"Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf32-i386 to format elf64-x86-64 not supported."

From what I can tell, it means I need to force the make process to stick to either 32 or 64 bit, but the only option I can find does nothing. (TARGET=x86_64-elf)

Can someone either help me troubleshoot the 32/64-bit problem, or simply make the driver and attach it to a reply? I'm really stuck here... Anyone that could actually compile that and attach it would be my hero. Forever.

Something's not right here.
The Broadcom STA driver is built-in to Knoppix 6.
One of the finer features of Knoppix vs the Ubuntu spectrum of linux offerings.

If your Knoppix is working, just not on-line, then
let's start over with why can't you get your wifi on-line.
What do you get for lspci | grep -i bcm?
What do you get for lsmod | grep -i wl?
What do you get for ifconfig?
