compat-wireless: firmware loading does not work (udev rule missing)

Hi,

with recent compat-wireless (today) firmware loading does not work any
more. With compat_firmware_class.c included it does not work, but after
removing it (with the stuff in comapt-XX.h) loading worked again.

This is because my Ubuntu uses only this udev rule for fimeware loading:

SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="firmware.sh"

This is only executed if the subsystem is named "firmware" and not if it
is named "compat_firmware". After adding an other rule, firmware loading
with compat_firmware_class.c worked again:

SUBSYSTEM=="compat_firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="firmware.sh"

The rule is located in /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules on my Ubuntu
9.10 system. This was tested with kernel 2.6.31 and b43 driver.
