Here it says there is a version of compat-wireless that went back to 2.6.22, 
which should be sufficient for your purpose:

I think the compat-wireless-old package is slightly older than compat-wireless 
(which is bleed-edge, 2.6.31/32+), but should take you up to at least about 
2.6.28/2.6.29 equivalent, wireless-wise.

I think you could separate the two types of changes, support of newer UW2453 
radio hardware, and fixes to problems, and send the latter, if they are not in 
compat-wireless yet, to the linuxwireless mailing list. I can't quite see at a 
first glance what problem the non-UW2453-related changes addresses. (and there 
hasn't been much traffic on zd1211-devel for months, so remind me...)
