Your e-mails have been pretty vague and difficult to understand to help you.

I think I have deciphered your e-mail to mean that you have been
trying to use the compat-wireless git tree and your compile fails. You
do not use the git tree by itself to compile unless you are a
developer and you also have the wireless-testing git tree on your
machine somewhere. Please ensure you read the documentation properly
and if the documentation needs improvement please help enhance it, its
a wiki afterall, or feel free to tell us how we can help enhance it.

Hm? Can you please provide some output from your compile attempt?

To which BTW Sujith replied to and informed you that the oops for the
screenshots you provided should be fixed by the commit
6cc47a6f886f72d9d54a52aa656464feb2a99ba4 in wireless-testing.

Are you still getting the same oops? Can you please provide a new screenshot?

Also please do not e-mail us privately but use the mailing list.

I just updated compat-wireless with today's changes thanks to a patch by
Hauke Mehrtens. Please make sure you get the master-2008-12-17 release and
give that a spin.
