Subject: Merge compat-wireless-old into 2.6.26

Is it possibile to patch linux 2.6.26 source (e.g. Debian Lenny sources)
to have the new compat-wireless-old?
If yes, what could be the correct procedure?
I would prefer to compile only my wireless network card driver
statically into the kernel.
Thank you.

It is possible, you would just have to replace the directories
that compat-wireless-old has in the kernel sources.

What exactly will that buy you though? Is it worth the effort?
