compat-wireless updated for 2.6.33-rc8, 2.6.32.8 and next-20100212

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

The bleeding edge compat-wireless updates were stuck due to a
bluetooth hunk failing on net/bluetooth/hidp/core.c, that should be
fixed now, at least it compiles for me down to 2.6.27. I also hadn't
updated a 2.6.33-rcx releases in a while, as well as 2.6.32.y release.
This should all now be in synch with upstream. I never got reports
about MQ support on older kernels so I just threw in the code, issues
can be dealt with once actually found.

ath3k went in on 2.6.33-rc8 so we enable it now. Atheros Ethernet
AR8152/AR8152 support was submitted upstream for atl1c but it hasn't
been merged yet so likely it won't get into 2.6.33, but once its
merged for 2.6.34 I will just throw in the patch as an extra onto the
compat-wireless-2.6.33 releases.

Worth noting also is if you have any specific patch which did *not* go
into a stable release due to size but yet considered relatively
important and if it is merged upstream please send a note to
linux-wireless about it and we can consider enabling it if it is not
insane. This applies to new drivers as well. I will likely an an
extra/ dir. The only requirement is you *must* have the patch merged
upstream on one of the trees, either wireless-testing,
bluetooth-testing, or net-next-2.6. Reasoning for enabling patches
like these is as I have seen, even as hard we try we somehow can't get
rid of a small delta between what we feel needs to be supported and
what is on stable. My main concern over accepting patches like these
is creating a fork but forks can be avoided if we have a requirement
of first requiring the patch on a development tree.
