FWIW, since we actually have customers already using this I took
Bala's original patch and put it into compat-wirelesss-2.6.36 and the
current bleeding edge compat-wireless so we can get customers at least
something working in the mean time. Of course this means we'll need to
support this patch should any issues come up ;).

The proper patch didn't make it to 2.6.37, hoping this will get
resolved for 2.6.38.
