What happened on 2.6.32 is we allowed for CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT to be disabled on the kernel, but this same config option was renamed on future kernels or removed, I forget which. Your patch would not allow kernels to use compat-wireless that have wireless extensions disabled, so there seems to be another way we need to address this.
