This commit is included in 3.10-stable and the latest compat-wireless, but not in the current compat-wireless (22-5-2014) used by OpenWRT. So the problem is already solved, sorry for the noise. I have not found the reason for the problems with mixing wifi drivers. So if anyone has a hint here, it would be great. -Kristian
