This patch breaks compatibility with older kernels (2.6.32 in my case ;-).

Is this intended? If I try to compile this I get

..../compat-include/linux/ethtool.h:49: error: implicit declaration of
function '__ethtool_get_settings'

I stumbled across this when I tried to update and test my patches for dat
and bla due to the feedback I received after I updated the master branch.

Kind regards,
Andreas
