I’m trying to build a driver for my bcm4313 wireless network adapter using these instructions from broadcom.

I'm getting this error:

I don't know why, any ideas?

First of all, I am using BCM4313 driver and I am writing this via wifi connected internet. All I did to get it worked is to install Additional Drivers which founds in Software & Updates. It installs STA driver for me. Sure you need to connect internet via ethernet cable.

Have a nice day and I'm here to help you again.
