[SOLVED]BCM4322 driver not building

I'm trying to build this driver (64-bit) with these instructions , and when I use make or make clean, it returns

KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`
make: *** /lib/modules/3.0-ARCH/build: no such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all] Error 2

What do I need to do to fix these errors? Thanks for your time.

Is there any reason you are not installing aur/broadcom-wl?

Re: [SOLVED]BCM4322 driver not building

I'll try it. Thanks. And to answer your question, I'm just begining to learn Arch. While I did use google to try and find how to install it, I did not find anything else. I didn't remember the AUR either.

EDIT: When I run makepkg it returns

cat: /lib/modules/extramodules-3.3-ARCH/version: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occured. Exiting...

Re: [SOLVED]BCM4322 driver not building

I just read the PKGBUILD for the driver, and it seems that it requires the 3.3 kernel.

You should be at 3.3.1-1.
Check the following outputs:
uname -a
and
pacman -Qs linux

If you are running the 3.2 kernel, you may want to a pacman -Syu which will bring your system up to date and install the latest kernel.  Then reboot and try broadcom-wl again.
