I got:
http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
I can't compile it:
/usr/src/compat-wireless-2011-01-19 $ sudo make
/usr/src/compat-wireless-2011-01-19/config.mk:202: "WARNING:
CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT will be deactivated or not working because kernel
was compiled with CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n. Tools using wext interface like
iwconfig will not work. To activate it build your kernel e.g. with
CONFIG_LIBIPW=m."

Do I understand it correctly that it is just newer and will be in the
kernel eventually?
How can I see what version of the driver I am using?
