I appreciate the effort of sharing such changes, personally - don't know if
Linus is taking patches for such old kernels, probably not, so the the
signed-off is probably unnecessary :-). I have one comment though - the patch
is neither minimal (you added a couple of strictly-speakingnot-necessary debug
print statements, and there is a whitespace change noted below), nor maximal -
maximal would be back-porting the current code, i.e. a subset of the
compat-wireless objective. Have you looked at compat-wireless? I don't know if
it runs as earlier as 2.6.22, but I think it does.

White space change, probably unintentional or indicative of a bug?
