2.6.31 needs a few more patches to fully support 1000 series, among
these is the patch that can parse a new ucode header format and another
patch to update the ucode API.
Depending on the requirements it may be easier to backport those patches
or to just use compat-wireless. That will be the user's decision.
Here is the list of patches:
