You do not understand compat-wireless, now called backports.

The version listed, such as 3.7, is for the *source* of the code included. The 
package includes *all* the necessary code for it to be built on kernel 2.6.24 
*OR NEWER*. If you were to find a 3.2 version of compat-wireless, it would have 
exactly the same drivers as were released with 3.2, and there would be no reason 
for you to use it! The link you were given will work for 3.2.
