Well, it appears the only thing that really needs fixing is dev_set_name()
compatability function, but fixing it properly without making things worse
is a bit beyond my capability at this point. I think someone more familiar
with the code should have a look (a hint is below).
Regarding rfkill_backport, the issue is probably openwrt-specific, becase
there seems to be no way to load modules with circular dependencies without
modprobe (as far as I understand it). Commenting out CONFIG_RFKILL_BACKPORT
in config.mk "fixes" this and I think this issue can not be easily solved
inside compat-wireless package.
