Thanks for reviewing this. I've changed the directories to match the
kernel's. As a consequence the updates/ directory also have a similar
structure now. Upon install we'll be sure to remove the old
directories if present for now.

I ran into to this but I had fixed it in compat.diff. Anyway, this
won't be necessary anymore as the directories match the kernel's now.

I'm not sure what happened here as <linux/version.h> should have been
included in mac80211.h. Anyway, to be sure we won't run into these
I've added <net/compat.h> to <net/cfg80211.h> which much of the
wireless subsystem uses.
Please give this new release a try:
http://linuxwireless.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
I've also started documenting this online:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/download
Note: This link will be gone soon and replaced with:
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Download
I need 2.6.23 testers (hint Fedora people).
Luis
