Hello Luis,
	Do you think it should be viable to bring it down to kernel 2.6.22
using armeb?
	If so, I can help to test since I am very interested in ath5k.
Regards
Marcel

compat-wireless-old has not been updated for ages. Today is possible
to bring compat-wireless (instead of compat-wireless-old) down to
older kernels we previously could not since we no longer are using the
netdevice multiqueue support. I was able to bring compat-wireless down
to 2.6.25 -- at least compile-wise, there is also code present to help
bring it down to older kernels, we just need someone to test/help
finish the rest.
