hallo,
trying to use compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc4 together with an ubuntu karmic
2.6.31-18.55 kernel I get the following oops at boot time:

But I am unsure why everything works even without the compat-backport,
perhaps Ubuntu already includes it somehow?

Nah the issues was compat_firmware was registering itself on a
subystem already defined, a change on bleeding edge compat-wireless
fixes this but I forgot to propagate it to the 2.6.33-rc4 release.
Will do so this week.
