Care to send some patches for this? Well, it appears the only thing that really needs fixing is dev_set_name() compatability function, but fixing it properly without making things worse is a bit beyond my capability at this point. I think someone more familiar with the code should have a look (a hint is below). Regarding rfkill_backport, the issue is probably openwrt-specific, becase there seems to be no way to load modules with circular dependencies without modprobe (as far as I understand it). Commenting out CONFIG_RFKILL_BACKPORT in config.mk "fixes" this and I think this issue can not be easily solved inside compat-wireless package.
