You get a new shiny mac80211 with all the patches that went in for it.
We can't add the new mac80211 to compat-wireless-old as you did with
ath9k as 2.6.27 had the struct net_device change quite a lot (new TX
multiqueue changes) and backporting this was a major pain in the ass.
Hence we have compat-wireless-old for <= 2.6.26 and compat-wireless
for >= 2.6.27.

Still, if someone wants to go over all 2.6.27 mac80211 patches and
apply them to compat-wireless-old except for the TX MQ related ones,
that should work, but you'll have to find someone with enough
motivation to do it.
