I confirm the problem.  Basically, the bleeding edge compat-wireless is
useless now.  Perhaps we need a check to to prevent broken tarballs from
being uploaded.  It's better than force users to search for the last
working tarball.

compat-wireless-2.6.34-rc4 should be OK for Linux 2.6.27 and newer,
although it lacks some fixes needed for older kernels.  It also lacks
the experimental wireless code that is not scheduled for Linux 2.6.34.
