However, we are planning the minor update of our product toward the end of the year and I thought it will be nice if I can keep the change minimum. In general, the drivers in compat-wireless are more stable and have more features than the versions in older kernels. (it is a back-port of newer wireless drivers after all) I would expect that you'll spend more time working out a solution to use it for a single driver than you'd spend testing it on the hardware you intend to support.
