building a driver/mod for a wireless nic

Hi.

I know this is a "centos" issue, but I've searched, can't find an
answer, and thought the answer might be helpful to others. Feel free
to flame away if I stepped on your toes!

I'm following the steps to build the driver/module as describe in the url

       http://elrepo.org/tiki/wl-kmod

The step I'm confused on is the step 4)

4) Download the Broadcom driver matching your architecture (i.e.,
32-bit vs 64-bit):

   from:   http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
   to:      ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/


The tar.gz file for the driver is listed on the page, but I'm not sure
if I'm supposed to place the entire tar.gz file in the "SOURCES" dir
(doubtful) or if i'm supposed to untar it, which will then have the
underlying dirs from the tar file in the SOURCES dir...

Or, if I'm supposed to follow the readme listed on the broadcom page,
and build the wl.ko.

Once I get this resolved, the rest should work ok...

Thanks for any pointers/feedback.
