Your 64 bit system is just too much for the people at Broadcom. They
have written software for Linux and it is being used on 32 bit machines
with great success.
So you want to use a 64 bit wrapper of the windows .dll file as a
way to get going. I will be interested in your results. I hope it works 8-)
