You can see this with the command:

  $ git log -- drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx-mac80211

Where the last listed commit is d05daff.  So of course there will be many
bisection points back to v2.6.22 where that directory just doesn't exist.
A bit of digging with Git shows this history for most of the files in
that directory:

  renamed in v2.6.23-rc1-1621 as bcm43xx-mac80211
  renamed in v2.6.21-rc1-809 as mac80211
  renamed in v2.6.17-rc2-357 as d80211/bcm43xx
 Imported in v2.6.16-1725 as bcm43xx-d80211

Thanks for the response. Obviously the difficulties were due to the structure of the tree. This chunk of code has had a varied history.
