I confirm that ath5k and ath9k actually work on that kernel, so the
results are good.

There are some funny messages from ath9k, but scanning still works, and
I don't think it's related to compat-wireless:

ath9k 0000:00:01.0: alloc_safe_buffer: could not alloc dma memory (size=3872)
ath9k 0000:00:01.0: map_single: unable to map unsafe buffer c6ffe020!
ath9k 0000:00:01.0: alloc_safe_buffer: could not alloc dma memory (size=3872)
ath9k 0000:00:01.0: map_single: unable to map unsafe buffer c6800020!

Perhaps you mean 2.6.26?  Anyway, I'd rather see
dma_sync_single_range_for_device() for ARM backported.
