As the kernel moves along so does the automatic stable backports for
the wireless subsystem [1]. We are now on 2.6.32-rc4. Besides getting
the same fixes from rc1..rc4 some backport changes were made as well,
most importantly that of relying on your own kernel's iw_handler.h.
I've tested this release with 2.6.28.
Please report any issues you see.

PS. If you maintain a distribution and rely on stable compat-wireless
releases please let me know so I can CC you when further updates are
made.

Speaking as a distro, what advantage does the stable wireless backport
offer for the currently released kernel if we are already consumers of
stable updates?

Well if you are a distro stuck on the 2.6.31 kernel the stable
compat-wireless-2.6.32 gets you 2.6.32 wireless bits on 2.6.31 and
that means any features/drivers/large fixes/enhancements that didn't
make it to 2.6.31.
