SubjectCompat-wireless for 2.6.35 final - 802.11, Bluetooth, Ethernet backported
Linus released 2.6.35 so we get our respective compat-wireless-2.6.35
released which backports the kernel's 802.11, Bluetooth and some
Ethernet drivers down to kernels >= 2.6.27. Goal is to always backport
all drivers down to the oldest supported 2.6. kenrel release listed on
kernel.org. Some drivers are backported to even further older kernels
(ath9k should go down to 2.6.23), to enable only one driver use the
./scripts/driver-select script. You can get compat-wireless-2.6.35
from:

Base tree: linux-2.6-allstable.git
Base tree version: v2.6.35
compat-wireless release: compat-wireless-v2.6.35-0

Since we can have extra fixes within compat.git / compat-wireless.git
for stable releases in between stable kernel extra version updates I'm
started to rely on -release_number tag postfixes to the release tag.
So this release has the -0 release number, if we get a new fix/update
on this package before 2.6.35.1 we'll have compat-wireless-2.6.35-1,
and so on.

compat-wireless makes use of the compat.git tree which provides a
