I tried to emerge the broadcom driver but it fails when compiling with this error:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use kernel 3.2.0-rc1 or later
2. try to emerge broadcom-sta
Actual Results:  
Compilation fails

Expected Results:  
The driver should compile without errors

It looks like the compilation error is because in kernel commit b81693d9149c598302e8eb9c20cb20330d922c8e the callback ndo_set_multicast_list was removed:
