Compat-drivers backport

Documentation/compat. This is now deprecated use hacking on backports. This page is dedicated to compat, a generic Linux kernel backport compatibility module that has been brewing since The compat module provides functionality introduced in newer kernels to older kernels through a set of header files and exported symbols.  · The Driver Backport Workgroup was organized to simplify and standardize the creation, packaging, and distribution of backported drivers for older kernels. In line with these goals, the Workgroup is now collaborating with the compat-drivers project to support automatic backports of kernel subsystems and drivers.  · For now if interested in the project you can refer to the code: www.doorway.ru www.doorway.ru At this point we aim to backport all 4 subystem kernel drivers and making both daily snapshots based on Stephen Rothwell's www.doorway.ru, and RC releases based on Linus's www.doorway.ru sand Greg's stable releases from www.doorway.ru and all of these.

Mar I had found out that my Intel wireless adapter needs the backport on kernel and at the same time my Alfa card needs realtek RTLAU.
