From the web page:
=======================================================
Linux wireless version table
The following is the latest release versions for code taken from linux-next.git
and on compat-wireless.git. This is updated automatically every day. The version
represents the git-describe output.
linux-next.git: <<CurrentLinuxNext>>
compat-wireless.git: <<CurrentCompatVersion: unknown>>
Where to download bleeding edge
You can get bleeding edge compat-wireless here:
compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2
This package is updated daily. It reflects the latest on linux-next.git tree.
===============================================================
As it says, it contains the latest wireless code. It will build and run on any
kernel from 2.6.24 to 3.4-rc4.
It was OK to drop the Realtek addresses from this thread. They will ignore it
anyway. I have added the wireless ML as a Cc. Please keep that with all further
communications.
