This is kernel-2.6.36.2.
The wireless doesn't work on any later kernel that I have tried.
It is very interesting the IRQ is 17 on this kernel but 18 on 2.6.37.3.

It might be kernel related.
Someone else has the same problem:

The idea of compat-wireless is to make new wifi drivers & features
accessible for older host-kernel, not the other way around.
It also makes no sense to have same versions of host kernel and c-w
version (both 2.6.36 for example, it is the same codebase).
Did you try one of the bleeding-edge compat-wireless [1] tarball (it
is updated daily, but can be broken)?
Furthermore, [2] has informations about stable releases and detailed
build instructions.
Please provide full dmesg and lspci/lsusb output - not truncated one.
Which user-space do you use? Network-Manager, wpasupplicant, etc.?

I tried
http://www.orbit-lab.org/kernel/compat-wireless-2.6-stable/v2.6.36/compat-wireless-2.6.36-4.tar.bz2
but it doesn't work in the 2.6.36.2 kernel or the 2.6.38 kernel.
Where can I get the compat-wireless that is the exact code that is in
the 2.6.36.2 kernel and then I can try it in the 2.6.38 kernel?

If the old c-w works on the new kernel then I know it is a kernel problem.

I last tried 2011-03-19

No user space utilities are automatically started but I use wicd
manually to get an IP from my wired connection.
The AP is open so I don't use wpasupplicant.
