Read http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/wiki/CompilingCustomFirmware

Neither our build system, nor Broadcom SDK we have, don't support kernels other 
than 2.6.22 due to binary blobs of WiFi driver.

but I don't think WiFi drivers should prevent me from building modules (I'm 
building RAID) from the more recent kernels...

All kernel modules are strongly depends from kernel internal structures, which 
is modified between kernel releases. Even modprobe/insmod verify version info 
and refuse to load module from different kernel.

In other words, you can't switch to any recent kernel. Only backports are 
possible. You must read kernel documentation before creating such issues.
