Does it work? What would be unsafe?

Is there a reason that you need compat-wireless with 2.6.32-rc5-git3?
Most of the changes in compat-wireless are already in 2.6.32-rc3.
As long as you are using a git kernel, you ought to use git to
download the kernel from Linville's wireless-testing git tree. That
way, you will always have what is in the latest wireless-testing. In
addition, your reports of problems will be for the current state and
you can help with the debugging.
