I forked off a new compat-wireless since mac80211 added multiqueue support a while ago, but recently compat-wireless started to get support for older kernels again because mac80211 stopped using the multiqueue support. By default the stable compat-wireless releases up to the ones based on 2.6.32.3 had support for kernels >= 2.6.25. Then if you enable only ath5k or ath9k you can go even lower, to 2.6.23. This all changed again for 2.6.32.4 where mac80211 once again re-enabled multiqueue support but I did make an attempt to actually backport that this time [1] down to 2.6.23 and actually even lower kernels. That release hasn't been tested yet though so I'm waiting to hear about results. I may get a chance to test a 2.6.23 kernel with that snapshot at some point today, we'll see. So apart from compat-wireless though you actually need the full SoC support though and that is provided by openwrt but I am not sure down to what kernel that is backported to. In any case you are better off just upgrading to a newer kernel as others recommend.
