Re: intel 4965agn 54Mbps on Linux but 130Mbps on Windows

I decided to update to Ubuntu Intrepid since it uses a 2.6.26 kernel
with CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE enabled.

However, compat-wireless is no longer compiling with this kernel:

/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:
In function 'iwl_led_brightness_set':
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198:
error: 'led_type_str' undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198:
error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/home/chris/devel/mac80211/compat-wireless-2008-08-06/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-led.c:198:
error: for each function it appears in.)

And note that without using compat-wireless, my wifi LED is back on
but I'm still connecting in 802.11g mode.

Best regards,
Chris.
