Wireless doesn't work on macbook air 6.2
Im trying out new kernels to get monitor via thunderbolt and i noticed
that the wireless stoped working for me. While installing the kernel i
get an error.

The bcmwl driver is an out-of-tree driver with binary blob. So this is
not an upstream driver, which is what linux-wireless is about. Now the
error message seems clear to me and it means that in the new 3.17-rc2
kernel alloc_netdev interface changed. So you could try fixing that.
This is the commit changing the api:
