Compat wireless driver on mini2440

Compat wireless driver on mini2440

Continuing my post on Debian squeeze in mini2440 board , the default wireless driver included in kernel 2.6.32.2 are limited and most of them were discontinued.
As posted before, get the toolchains from debian squeeze distribution and kernel source for mini2440 whith 2.6.32.2 version.
Get the latest compat wireless driver from linuk backports.
I use the compat-drivers-3.7.6-1.tar.bz2 from http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.7.6/compat-drivers-3.7.6-1.tar.bz2
