As the kernel moves along so does the automatic stable backports for

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?
