Problem installing acerhk driver for Acer laptop

[JtG]

I have an Acer Travelmate C314XMi laptop. The bluetooth device is controlled by a software switch rather than a hardware switch. In order to get it to work, I need to install the acerhk driver. The driver is not working and causing syslogd to spit stuff at me.

Kali version: 32-bit, GNOME
Kali installation: HDD

I've been working on this all week and here's the steps I take to get me to the above point. (I'm really good at installing now! haha)
1. Fresh install to HDD (nothing else on HDD)
2. apt-get update
3. apt-get upgrade
4. Install NVIDIA driver (http://docs.kali.org/general-use/ins...-on-kali-linux)
5. Install build-essential and kernel source (http://docs.kali.org/development/rec...i-linux-kernel)
NOTE: I'm not sure if that's needed, but "prepare-kernel-sources" is in my notes from going through this for BT5.
6. Download latest acerhk driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/acer...ubuntu_11.04-/)
7. Edit Makefile changing line 21 from looking for kernel 2.6 to 3.7. (granted, a greater than or equal to is probably a better solution)
8. make
9. make install
10. modprobe acerhk

Step 10 is where things derail and I get the error in the above code block.

Thanks for taking a look.

P.S. - acerhk is NOT just for the extra buttons or the indicator lights, it's what actually turns on my internal bluetooth adapter. I don't care about the buttons or lights, I just want my internal bluetooth adapter to function rather than having to go buy a USB bluetooth adapter.

Last thing, it's a Broadcom 2045 adapter (Model# BCM92045NMD).
