Should be easy to debug, the compat 2.6.31 code is in compat/compat-2.6.32.[ch] and since there is no 2.6.33 yet that is all. That and of course any ifdef which applies on the compat/patches/. >> Its not clear what version of stable compat-wireless you've tried. >> Does compat-wireless-2.6.32-rc6 exhibit the same problem? > "compiled from git", which should be compat-wireless-2009-11-12.tar.bz2 > and therefore -rc6. Well no, I believe what Tim means is the stable compat-wireless releases which are not based on master git on compat-wireless. These are based on a branch for the specific stable kernel. The stable compat-wireless releases use hpa's tree: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/hpa/linux-2.6-allstable.git and I checkout specific 2.6.3x.y branches. So for 2.6.32 I just use master though which is based on Linus' tree and the latest *stable* 2.6.32-rcx.
