compat-wireless is a backport of the current drivers, so you should be  
using the firmware for Linux 2.6.25 and newer.

I cannot get to www.linuxwireless.org at all at the moment, so I  
cannot check if the instruction is indeed unclear about it.

As fast as I know, the master mode support in mac80211 has not been  
merged yet into the wireless-testing branch, so I don't think it's  
present in compat-wireless.  There are some unofficial patches for  
that, but you never mentioned them.  Did any document promised you  
master mode support if you use compat-wireless?
