Build a fresh kernel today, ie. 3.18-rc5-wl from wireless-testing and

Did not sound encouraging to continue, but did anyway. Not surprisingly
the insmod failed. Checking Module.symvers showed:

[arend@lb-bun-235 ~/scm/brcm80211-next]
$ grep wiphy_new Module.symvers
0xba575a46	wiphy_new_nm	net/wireless/cfg80211	EXPORT_SYMBOL

Rings a bell? We renamed the file wl_cfg80211.c that does wiphy_new()
call to cfg80211.c. Merge issue?

It's probably just a build issue?

wiphy_new() is a static inline pointing to wiphy_new_nm()

Indeed a build issue, but wiphy_new_nm() was recently introduced, right? Well, actually we were on 3.18-rc1 wireless-testing before I merged today.

Thanks,
Arend
