The device is already in the kernel source.
Your choice of a compat-wireless version is what caused the problem. That device
was added to wireless-testing code on Aug. 5, 2011. By choosing an older version
of compat-wireless, you did not get that patch. For best results, you should
always choose the bleeding-edge version of compat-wireless.
