Have a look at 
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/ for 
newer versions.

Thanks for your answer.

This is a good link, but I need compat-wireless stable for 3.2 version 
of Linux kernel.

In that link, there are all for >= 3.7 Linux kernel version.

Exist any site for 3.2 Linux kernel version of compat-wireless ?

Thanks, see you.

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.

"for 3.2 version", or "the wireless code as it was in the 3.2 version"?

Wsing compat-wireless (or now backports) from 3.2 with kernel 3.2 makes 
no sense, at it is exactly the same code.

The backports package 3.10 works with a linux kernel 3.2 - after all, 
thats the reason they are backports.

Not "for" - FROM.

backports 3.10rcX is the wireless (plus now DRI) code from 3.10rcX to 
use it on older kernels.

I have no idea if there are still public archives of the older 
compat-wireless around. At worst you can recreate them using the git 
repositories and the kernel git yourself. 
https://backports.wiki.kernel.org/ may have some documentation about how 
to go about this.
