Well, there are a lot more options in lib that do this (The help text is
copied from the others).
compat-wireless does include a backport of the
function, but only for <=2.6.37. So from .38 on
compat-wireless expects the option to be enabled.
Which is unfortunate, because it's impossible to
enable without enabling something else that SELECTs
it. I hit this situation in OpenWRT.

Is that really necessary? We haven't typically done this, and often just
shipped the code in compat instead?
