When applied to wireless-2.6, I get this:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.o
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c: In function ‘ath5k_init_softc’:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:2357:2: error: ‘struct ath5k_softc’ has no member named ‘irqlock’
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:2357:2: error: ‘struct ath5k_softc’ has no member named ‘irqlock’

Is this only for -next?

This is against wireless-testing.  Maybe I was confused about this being in 2.6.39-rcX.

Bug was caused by this commit as far as I can tell:

Tested against linux-next (next-20110510).
