Not really but it gives a version hint, could you create a symlink or so?
 a url like that would be fine:
 http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.8-49.tar.bz2

The problem is that does not reflect changes to Linux so there may be
a lot of great code added and yet this wouldn't reflect it. And if we
go with git-describe for Linux we could get updates on compat-wireless
itself during no code changes on Linux. I could use date (date -I),
that might work best but will it work for you?
a date would be perfect (f.e. -20080325)
