I've noted elsewhere that what we need to do is to backport these patches from linux-next: 22bedad3ce112d5ca1eaf043d4990fa2ed698c87 net: convert multicast list to list_head 2f787b0b76bf5de2eaa3ca3a29d89123ae03c856 mac80211: Ensure initializing private mc_list in prepare_multicast() You can get compat-wireless working by reverting these patches (to what does apply). Its what I would do to backpor t it. We cannot add the new stuff as the new stuff relies on new changes to internal data structures, so the way to properly backport this is to ifdef around the new code and add the reverted code for older kernels. I haven't had time to do this yet as it involves changes not only on mac80211 but also on a few other drivers like libertas, etc. It should be fairly easy to do just haven't had time yet.
