compat-wireless-2010-01-20.tar.bz2 does not compile cleanly on ARM architectures. Commenting out line 9 of compat-2.6.32.h (#include <asm/compat.h>) fixes the issue.
There is no arch/arm/include/asm/compat.h
I suspect there are several other architectures which have similar issues.

The compat_firmware_class was having some issues which should now be
hopefully addressed:

  * Use a different subsystem name for sysfs registration, now compat_firmware
  * The new subsystem name change required a new udev rule to be added

The new compat-wireless for 2.6.33-rc4 has been pushed out with the
new changes. Unfortunately 2.6.33-rc5 hasn't been pushed out yet so I
just overwrote the old rc4 package (next time I'll just add an extra
extra version when this happens). The new sha1sum for this release is:

c007d7c8649d6149f415ea87dc7a34d4ee808766  compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc4.tar.bz2

Just kicked out a bleeding edge release with the same fixes:

65bb3cd6565f1788a2c63bfe8ccfdd8dfc1fb368  compat-wireless-2010-01-20.tar.bz2

Please let us know if there are any issues. I should note that the new
compat_firmware_class will be used *every time* compat-wireless is
used firmware needs to be uploaded, not just for the new
request_firmware_nowait().
