USB wireless support for ARM device and old kernel version

[Miguel Garcia-Lopez <mgarcia@envitel.com>]

Dear all,

We are developing an embedded linux platform using an ARM-based micro  
and other DSPs from Texas Instruments. Among other things, it supports  
USB.

We now need to add a wifi interface to the device, so we're thinking  
on using a USB wireless device. Now, the problem seems to be re are  
running a 2.6.10 kernel and most of the suff/drivers I found require  
much recent versions to work with.

I'm thinking on trying to compile the source code for some driver(s)  
against our kernel sources, but could not really find any working  
sources since most available driver code and wireless infraestructure  
seems to either be already merged into more recent versions of the  
kernel, or require it for compiling.

Any hints on what to try or driver sources distributions I could try  
to compile against my 2.6.10 kernel?

Thanks in advance!
