Obviously, you do not understand the reason for compat-wireless. It is used to
backport the wireless drivers in the development kernels so that they can be
used on older kernels. Whether you need it depends on what kernel you are using,
and what device(s) you have. The short answer is "probably not".

if you don't know if you need compat-wireless then you don't need
compat-wireless.
Enjoy.

But I have installed the compat-wireless.
during kernel compilation it showed me:
:/var/lib/dkms/blcr/0.8.2/build# more make.log
DKMS make.log for blcr-0.8.2 for kernel 3.2.5mj-lina (x86_64)
