In the kernel configuration CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=n and CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y are set. compat-wireless uses the old wireless_handlers attribute for the wext handlers interface, but this is only activated if CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT=y is set. We can not use the new interface through struct wiphy that cfg80211_wext normally uses. The struct is shipped by compat-wireless and changed ofter with different kernel versions, so the pointers do not point to the correct position when using two different versions of this strcut. compat-wireless should *always* deactivates CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT if CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT is not set. I got our compat_autoconf.h to overwirte the kernels autoconf.h by add it to LINUXINCLUDE, but I have not found a way how to disable CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT in the makefile if it was set in the kernel because config.mk is pared before the kernel configuration is parsed. An other way would be to rename CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT to something else in compat-wireless to prevent the kernel from overwriting this value. There will be no way to support cfg80211_wext without a kernel configured with CONFIG_CFG80211_WEXT=y.
