broadcom-wl in OpenWrt was built in a way that makes it completely
independent of the kernel version and configuration.
This only works if the Linux specific files are provided in source
format, and the binary only contains the generic parts (the source code
file licenses allow this).

There is no reasonable way to use binaries from GPL tarballs to achieve
the same, this can only be done by building the driver from source and
packaging it appropriately.

I hope that I can release an updated version soon.
