i tested ath5k from compat-wireless-2.6.32 on 2.6.27.41 and from
compat-wireless-2.6.32.2 on 2.6.27.42 and i needed this patch [1]
to avoid duplicate ieee80211_rx symbol in ieee80211 (from kernel) &
mac80211 (from compat-wireless).

[1] http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/54569/

i see that the patch was applied to compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc1, but i
wonder if it should be backported to the 2.6.32.2 release.

actually, i have no personal stake in the fix as after i got it to work i
learned that the new release is not compatible with my older distro-provided
user-land (doesn't recognize it as wireless), which i don't feel like
upgrading/self-maintaining and possibly descending into dependency-hell, so
i'm sticking with compat-wireless-2.6.30 (compat-wireless-2.6.31-rc7 release
didn't seem to work as well as 2.6.30), but thought the finding might be of
interest to others (possibly stumbling upon this searching for
"compat-wireless-2.6.32 ieee80211_rx ieee80211 mac80211 duplicate symbol"
or something similar).

thanks for compat-wireless!
