There are a lot of threads here regarding this driver. I'm posting to
this one because it has the best title. I've got this to build with
the kernel. Before anyone gets excited, it is only suitable for local
builds. It is a complete hack and is not git friendly. I wasn't
worried about making it git friendly because I don't expect a
proprietary driver to ever make it into a git repo.

All that is need is to download the script wl-mm, chmod +x it, and run
make -j5 usb_img or whatever you use. It will build along with the
kernel so you may need to trigger a kernel build by touching your
config (i.e. touch kernel/arch/x86/configs/android/android-
x86_defconfig).
