Yes. It's an embedded system, however, it has an exposed USB port and the user is free (within reason) to plug in a USB device. I'm trying to add support for as many USB wireless adapters that I can find. For some adapters (such as vt6656 and rtl8712), I use the vendor's tarball (which compiles directly against the kernel). So, this is why I need to mix and match drivers compiled against the kernel's mac80211/cfg80211 with drivers compiled against the mac80211/cfg80211 from compat.
Neither driver r8712u, which has been in the kernel since 2.6.37, nor the equivalent vendor driver depends on anything from mac80211 or cfg80211. If it did, the kernel version would be in the drivers/net/wireless tree rather than in staging. I suspect the same is true for other wireless drivers from staging, which includes vt6656.
