I'm trying to install the wireless drivers because my macbook pro does not have a ethernet port, then I mount the 3 debian isos like local repositories to install the almost all of dependeces.
So, what I tryed to do to install the broadcam 4360
https://wiki.debian.org/bcm43xx
When I try to install this:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
I get the following problems:
KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd`

So if someone have installed the drivers to Broadcom 4360 on mac with debian ,please tell me how, and what others suggestions recommend me

EDIT
Broadcom 4360 actually comes with either of two distinct chips, 14E4:4360 and 14E4:43A0. There is no driver in Linux for the first one, while wl is an appropriate driver for the second one. You can determine which one you have by means of the following command:
If instead you wish to do this from within Mac OS, hit the Apple -> About this Mac -> More Info-> System Info, and then click on Wi-fi. You will find a line like
which displays Vendor (14E4) and Product (117, in my case) code of the Wi-fi card.
There is no support for Broadcom 4360 14E4:4360 on Linux. The definitive guide in these matters is Linux Wireless, which gives in this table the list of all Broadcomm wireless chips, and the available Linux drivers. As you can see, no driver is listed under BCM4360 14E4:4360.
Two lines below in the same table, it is shown that the other chip with which 4360 is produced, 14E4:43A0, is instead supported by the proprietary driver wl. The correct procedure to install this driver is described here, in the Debian Wiki. For Wheezy, you should add this line
to the file /etc/apt/sources.list, then run
and lastly you will need to remove some conflicting drivers which come pre-installed in Debian:
Now you are good to go:
You should also keep the following in mind: about the wl driver, this is what the ever informative Arch Linux wiki has to say:
