We can fork wireless-testing for old kernels based on this for compat-wireless. Problem is updates. I suppose each driver maintainer can supply updates when they want. For that please use compat-masters list. I'll create a new tree for this when I get a chance. The list.h changes should have what we have in the kernel. Although list_splice2() is functionally equivalent I rather use what the kernel is using the name will be different though of course. Luis
